[For someone like Lexa, who is all strings as tightly wound as much as possible, leisure doesn't come easily. It's not that she's without her hobbies: she loves reading almost as much as she loves holding a sword. Reading helped her gain valuable lessons as a leader, but it was still something that was fun—something that she did and kept to herself.
She recognizes that she's very different from Carata in that way. Rigid instead of accepting. Cold instead of warm. These are truths she recognizes.]
Then perhaps when we're done, we can find a place broadcasting a match. You can feel free to explain what you can, or I can pick up on it on my own. [It's an offer to show that she's at least willing to try to make these necessary connections, even if she does a better job at thinking of the world as a problem to solve.
She pauses, not going on, to see if Carata will take her offer. It seems like a wise idea before she plunges forward like a hammer slamming a nail too deep into a wall.]
