No right at all. Lexa isn't going to budge on that point, or on the (ridiculous) notion that she owes them a chunk of her people's land for what happened in Montemps. But she doesn't start right in with that as a response. It's partly strategy, waiting out his initial anger, giving the sense behind it a chance to work through the way she can see it beginning to in his expression. And it's partly just that she does not have the energy to argue about this today.

So she waits, leaned against the side of the wagon as Bellamy considers, her eyes wandering to their surroundings, to the others in their party, mostly asleep or zoned out on horseback, and in between back to Bellamy's face. She nods, once, seriously.

"Yes." She considers saying more, even parts her lips and inhales like she might, but stops herself. She's gotten through to him, it seems. Maybe the less said at the moment the better, to avoid accidentally tweaking a nerve and ruining it.
