Of course I did. Are you surprised? [He knows this probably isn't easy for Renly. The war. His injury. The fact that they have to fight his brother. None of it is easy. It isn't easy for Loras either. He's heard countless stories about the last war from his father. His father who wasn't even present when he was born because he was off at war. It seems different when you're the one fighting though. Loras isn't sure it's a good different]

Then I suppose I owe a certain amount of gratitude to your brother's lobster-like ways. [Still, he can't imagine fighting Garlan or Willas. Even if Renly and Stannis aren't exactly close, it has to hurt] What we are doing is for the benefit of everyone, not just ourselves. You will be just the kind of King the realm needs. Try not to forget that.

I suppose that is the least I could do. [Wine might be nice. He's feeling wound up and not in a way he likes. It's more of a nervous energy, something Loras is not familiar with]
