Lexa thinks that about five have gone to sleep, but some have woke back up again. It leaves her wondering if that might happen to her. If it does, will her contingency plan matter? There's a sense coming off of her about wheels turning. She does have a contingency plan, but she'll need to revise it. These random circumstances aren't very reliable.
As for his final statement, it leaves her puzzled. She can understand it in a general sense. Keeping secrets about someone being dangerous is unwise unless you have control over it. She recalls Kylo Ren's blind devotion to Cathaway, and Ilde's statement that he's considered dangerous (much like her). She imagines that's a way of keeping one or both of them contained, but she knows better than to ask for further clarity.
(Besides, if Ren is so weak that he needs to be devoted to a woman he barely knows, a woman who is not a leader, then it shows his true nature to her. It's unfortunate. He seemed like a true potential ally at the beginning.)
"I understand cause and effect, and not looking out for yourself instead of the group. But I'd like some clarity. Is the trouble things like assassins or bounty hunters coming after us, or punishment that somehow comes from within the Nest itself?" She had judged the Prince's punitive words because they felt hollow, empty, like he hoped for them all to feel the same guilt he did. She resented it.
No, correction: she resents it. What could have been a grudge she forgot has become firmly implanted in her mind. At least for the time being.
