[There is no recrimination in that, only weary affection. Her love is bold and strong and stubborn. And she will throw herself into danger for others, she is always ready for the cost. Lexa is only sorry that this time helping someone meant Clarke's infection. If she thought it was possible Clarke would learn to be more careful next time, she might say so, but she'll usually pick others over herself. It's just her way.

[Understatement, she knows. Lexa given that gift would be ruthless and willingly so. It is probably best to be within a person who would resist.]
