She does need you. [But Renly doesn't sound sad when he says that. Sure, he'd rather be with Loras, but he's safe here, hidden in Highgarden, amongst people who treat him like family, and Margaery has found herself in the middle of a lion's den - she needs her protector much more right now than Renly needs his lover. Until King's Landing is safe, you belong at her side. [He presses kisses along the line of Loras's jaw, nudging him gently to sit on the edge of the bed so Renly can kneel down and pull his boots off him.]

They're wonderful. I miss you when you're away, always, but I'm safe here, and happy. Thanks to you.
