( That's because he will. Has he offered any indications of what he intends to do? )

[That's not to say that Lexa hasn't considered "completing the mission" herself. But she wouldn't do it without informing the rest of the Nest so they could evacuate.]

( He just said to stay out of his way so nobody would get hurt. I think he wants to do something physical. )

[adamance]

( And what of his strength? Do you believe he can be stopped? He can't harm any of us to the point of killing us, so we may be able to use that to our advantage.

If he's not willing to learn that we have been here for a month gathering information without him, then he will have to be reduced in his capabilities. )

[raw]

( I don't know yet. He fought shit back home, that's all I know. But he's pretty young. )

[ He isn't sure how old Lexa is, but she at least acts with enough maturity that he's willing to consider her an adult. ]

( That's probably why he's so impulsive. But it means he might also respect authority. )

[adamance]

( Unfortunately, many people here are quick to remind me that what authority I have was left behind on my homeworld. I will have to attempt a different tact. )

[It's a challenge she's willing to pursue, no matter how agitating it may prove to be.]

[raw]

( He might be too new to really know that. Titles back home don't mean shit— )

[ Thinking specifically of a conversation he had with Noctis about that very fact. ]

( But you've still got a pretty commanding presence. That's why I came to you. )

[adamance]

( I said nothing of not being myself. I'll look into the matter. )

[Let's be real: Lexa probably doesn't know how to be anything but herself when it comes to these things.]

[raw]

( Thanks, I owe you one. )

[adamance]

( Consider it a favor repaid once I'm successful. We need no further trouble. )
