I wanted to resolve whatever conflict we were having. [If it involves a "corny heart-to-heart," when she would have to suddenly become someone else. It's not that Lexa's incapable of warm and cuddly moments with friends, but Rhys is decidedly the opposite of a friend. Or someone she cares for. He is an ally, and he's both shown concern and offered her help. She isn't so self-absorbed that she doesn't realize it, but she still feels the need to maintain the distance between them.

Above all else, they don't seem like they will ever fully be on the same level. Then again, Lexa isn't as sensitive as him. Being a politician (as she truly is at heart), she is at least accustomed to people disliking her. She isn't vulnerable about the very possibility of it. That doesn't seem to be the case with him, but he is at least vulnerable. To some degree.]

Whatever it is, you don't like that I've insulted you. I thought our feelings for one another were fairly clear, but I'll do better to not voice them in the future.
