[After Kratos has a grasp of his own capabilities right now. He exhales, a conscious thing, and then takes Yuan's hand to get to his feet; and almost instantly sways.
[It's not a matter of general weakness. On the bed he was fine. The bed is solid. But being on his own two feet isn't much more secure than hanging from a dais, with a different distribution of weight. Nearly at once his body and mana object to the change with a sweeping dizziness that makes Kratos grip Yuan's hand harder and press his fingers to his head against the roar in his ears.
[So many parts of him expect his weight to be elsewhere, expect an extra weight of the Sword in his back; it takes some minutes for him to orient himself, lifting his head gingerly and blinking at the door.]
