For a moment, Alex just frowns at him, because at the core of who she is, she has compassion. It's one of the pillars that makes up who she is, so when he says that it's clear to see through the scoff and to the pain on the other side of it. For Alex herself, being reminded of her place was a good thing and that she was someone who was considered worthy (and loved) despite everything else. Her voice is kind and calm, and the kindness just shines from her eyes--there's no guile there. "Maybe we need to be the ones that determine if we're worthy or not."
