[For a moment Yuan wonders if Kratos, like the damned fool he is, has still determined to feel pain despite the sword through him; but no, there's something more at work, and in any case the feeling of a sword through one's back is a wrong one no matter if there's pain attached or no.]
[It's Colette crying out that jerks Yuan back into motion instead of horrified silence. They need to move fast, since the presence of people here will have been noted, even if no one should arrive until the Chosen moves to activate the final seal--]
[Yuan will wager that as soon as they start tampering with the bonds they'll get someone's attention. The results aren't likely to be enjoyable for anyone.]
It is.
Colette, I'm going to need your help. I can't get him down by myself.
[This comes out levelly, though Yuan's voice rasps in his throat.]
Raine, Genis-- stay back. Yell the moment you feel any mana fluctuations whatsoever, do you understand? Lloyd, I know you want to help, but stay with them.
[Yuan can protect Colette, and Lloyd can't help get Kratos down. It's the right division of labor. That doesn't mean it'll be easy. The Sages both nod, Raine with the intent that means she is beating down some instinctive reaction, Genis with a pale face and wide eyes.]
[How long has Kratos been like this. Yuan unfolds his wings without a second thought, lavender flowering into broad petal-facets behind him, and he goes to his oldest friend.]
