( It is a credit to the two of them and their relationship that they can joke in the midst of something so wild. But he's glad to see that grin on Nikolai, it means he'll get through this. He returns the kiss and is sorry when it ends although obviously getting out of here is more important.
Jesper watches him figure out this next part and he sees the crown. He almost banters that he'd put it on for him, but this is too serious for that. Besides, Jesper would be terrible with that amount of responsibility on him. Nikolai rose to the occasion though, he became a King for his people. He comes up behind Nikolai and puts a hand on his shoulder.)
You can do this, Nik. You're a good king, your people believe in you.
