Jesus is extremely good at reading people, but with Alexandrians he's sometimes wrong. For instance, Daryl and Rick weren't the people he'd assumed they were when he saw them.
And Rosita? He never guessed she was protective of him. Not to the degree she's talking about. (He does not for one second think it's hyperbole when she says she will murder someone. And he does not miss the 'again' in that sentence.)
But what the vapor in the room brings out of him comes from a younger place in him, where his fears still live, and what he gets from what Rosita says is that she loves him. That he is, indeed, safe with her.
"All I want is for you to be happy, too, Ro. I never would have suggested Jacob if I thought for a second he would lie to you and hurt you the way you've been hurt already."
