[Oh dear. Was that out of line? That might have been out of line. The relationship between lord and vassal isn't one he has any right to stand between, regardless of how unconventional the lord and vassal are, or how they fight to destroy such things. Edelgard and Hubert have an odd relationship and it isn't one he can really hope to understand. The most he can do is open himself up to Edelgard if she wishes to talk about it.

But it's clear that she doesn't, given that she discusses Caspar and Linhardt instead. Lorenz nods and silently vows not to bring Hubert up again in such a context.]

Caspar does have a tendency to attract attention in the worst possible way... And Linhardt's naps are quite notorious throughout the monastery.

[It's the last part that gets his eyebrows to shoot up as he glances at her, incredulous.]

He called you overbearing? I don't... How did he manage to get that impression of you? Does he truly not see that his behavior requires a stern guiding hand?

[...Lorenz is probably the worst person to talk to about this, given that he is also overbearing. He just hasn't gotten friendly enough with anyone yet for his true Mom Friend attitude to be on full display.]
