"I think, Llane, that your plan is perfect. I also think you need to relax and stop thinking for two minutes and just let me take care of you."

Lothar isn't usually so overt about these things but sometimes, with Llane, overt was needed. Sometimes he just has to tell his friend what he needs, just like Llane has to tell him what he needs, and they have to take care of one another. Llane is going to worry himself nonstop about keeping his kingdom safe. It's what kind of man he is and what makes him a good king.

Lothar isn't so noble. He's worried more about Llane than he is about Westfall or Elwynn or any of it. Right now, he wants to see the tension ease and the brow relax. He lowers his hand a bit, rubbing lower on Llane's back. "Relax, Llane."
