You sounded parental. Or familial. Protective, concerned.
[ Lexa doesn't know what parental looks like herself, so she only guesses at timems. Anya had her moments where she was a mother or sister figure to Lexa. Older, wiser, respectful of the Nightblood under her care. Titus was more a mentor than a father, and Aden was her protege, not her son.]
I understand what you mean by what we never had. [ Innocent was not in either of their vocabularies. ] What's done is done. Murphy will live and Julian is here for medical support.[ That's the logical side. It's covered. Her expression softens and she looks down.]
I'm not used to being so .... [ She pauses, thinking of a word she can stomach. ] Concerned. I should have been here with you. [ She left Costia alone once and she was abducted. ]
