[ Jesse knows the world Daryl comes from, but knowing and seeing are two different things, it turns out. He'd never told Jesse that he was a killer. He'd had to find out as a witness. But so had Lottie. ]
[ Oh. Well, that'll do it. Jesse's dealt with drugs but not murder before, if their conversation about her own was anything to do by (which is fine, which is fair). Lottie's only good with it because she's spectacular at avoiding thought, feelings. Has poked and prodded at Caroline's dead (then resurrecting) body more times than she can count. ]
The number don't matter. 'Cause there ain't no number back home. And now he's seen it.
[ He couldn't put a number on his kills back home if he tried. He's been a soldier for years and years. The world is almost all death where he comes from and it's the only way of life left. ]
[ Lottie bristles at thatβ turns her head to actually look at him and maybe the audacity he has to say that (you don't know what you're talking about, you're saying what you think I wanna hear).
It's true, Lottie is a chronic people pleaser. But she likes to think she wouldn't lie about this, not when she feels so strongly about Daryl. The fact he's making her doubt herself is even worse, makes her draw her body away to get those few centimeters of distance back. ]

So you're just saying what you think I wanna hear.

It's nice and all but you don't know what you're talking about.
