[The mental intonation is exasperated, but fond; very nearly a deep wealth of fondness, if Yuan prods it even a little. Behind it, an inkling of guilt, that Kratos had tried to put it all down, and more than once.
[In some ways, Yuan has been so much stronger than Kratos. It makes Kratos fiercely glad that Yuan is here, still, considered him worthy enough to save; that Yuan is there to rely upon to point out what's wrong, as he had when Mithos created the human ranches. If only Kratos had done more than simply agree in word. It only he'd borrowed Yuan's strength to pull away.
[Thank you.
[For saving him. Forgiving him. For being willing to be here, like this, granting Kratos access to his mana until he heals. Kratos can feel that link between them cycling with every breath. The arte in his hand is strong, now; a clear glow in his palm and bathing his side, soothing the pain, knitting flesh. Still slower than it ought to be, because Yuan's mana is still not his, just borrowed until his own mana cycles what Yuan has given him -- but constant.]
