[Lexa gets the sense that there's something more that he's seeking, but she doesn't know exactly what. If she isn't taking his concerns to heart, it's not out of some blind stubbornness. This situation has unusual similarities to Clarke's concern for her before she fought Roan, though unlike that time, she actually has less doubts. Her confidence in the face of Clarke's relentless concern had partly been feigned. She had no idea if she would die, and she had even been assured of her novitiates' oaths before she entered the ring.

Still, there's a part of Lexa that wishes to be taken at her word, and few people here just do that. They assume she doesn't consider what she has to say, or what she dismisses, as if she's making some folly. She can only imagine how her people would see it as a show of disrespect.

As for his request, she's more than willing to concede to it. She recalls Cathaway remarking that this could be a point of weakness for some in some way, but planning well in advance is never a problem. They should be doing that, anyway.]


It's better to plan ahead. [A beat.] And I've made it clear that even if you're insufferable—[which he is]—you dying will be a problem. We're here to survive as a unit.

[So, "within reason" is completely possible.]
