[After receiving what was essentially a lecture in trusting people from Clarke some time ago, she had never expected anyone else from their world to expect her too trust others. Then again, Bellamy doesn't know that she nearly tried to kill Octavia (and this is not a thought that surfaces: Lexa's trust issues are pretty far reaching).

For that reason, her answer should be nothing short of surprising—or will be in time, given that Bellamy will likely come to know her quite well due to their situation.]

I trust few. [It feels important to lay it out plainly.] Any of the Hosts who were here before us aren't among them. Among the other Hosts, there is you—[she doesn't pause on this reveal, though she knows it will be surprising just the same, as she doesn't trust his judgment skills, but she trusts him, and she can separate these two things just like she does with Indra]—and there is Angel. There are others I feel we could rely on if we needed, but I don't believe trust will serve us well here.

[No one has earned their trust. And given the inexperience and the lack of leadership, it seems as if they are determined to work in an endless cycle that can only inspire suspicion and conspiracy.

Among the right people, at least. She's seen how Ilde and Kylo Ren attach themselves to the Nest. Even Angel does the same thing. It worries her, but she believes the situation is meant to inspire that.]
