[ Stubbornly, she meets it - flat, pulled expression out of the normal of her. A curl of her fingers at her side, the prickle of her abilities that are all hive mind reaction. Fight or flight. A vulnerability that sits in the hollow of her neck that if she should get to proud would leave it open to being sliced and she is keenly aware of it. Not her pleasant drifting, but in this she is solid. Direct look on her face, she has stared down too many of Jack's rages to cower from it now. Too aware of what she is, what she's done.
More than that just her own attempt to finally move past it. ecause she trusts Lexa in this, to be listened too. To have her answer considered if she says it plainly, rather than . She is doing her best to lie less these days, and if she was pleasant, she was blunt too. Wasn't going to bottle that anymore.
Still, the question isn't any easy one for all it's short. Trust isn't something she's easy with - betrayed too many people to be in a position to just going and giving it out to other people. Then there's Pandora. Being stabbed in the back was beyond just an unhappy circumstance, gone past it. At the end of the day, someone was going to get left to the skags, that was how it was. Jack would call it weakness. Jack would say never trust anyone if he could help it. Hold all the cards, that's how you do it.
Jack could rot in fucking hell. ]
Yes. In my own way, and as part of the hive, it might take years for me to adjust to the fact he had - the man responsible for my... servitude - in his head, for much the same reason he found it difficult with you - [ presses it heavy there, probably too much but the point still stands, and she would be a hypocrite to not understand his position. ] - but he deserves a chance just the same. So yes, yes I do.
