Answer

Brief Explanations:

In the excerpt, Brutus shows concern for Lucius by not wanting to over - burden him ("I should not urge thy duty past thy might. I know young bloods look for a time of rest") and also makes a promise to be good to him if he lives ("If I do live, I will be good to thee"). This indicates care for those who serve him. There is no indication of him using music to relax (the music - related part is just a request for a strain or two, not for relaxation), he is not cruel or selfish as he is considerate of Lucius, he is not taking advantage as he is aware of Lucius' limits, and there is no mention of putting his own needs before Rome's in this interaction.

Answer:

He cares about those who serve him.
