[Kratos understands, after a fashion, when he draws on his memories of raising a toddler. At least in a bed Dirk knows where they are and what they're up to, and asleep he can be assured they aren't pushing themselves past his definition.
[Kratos chooses not to mention this comparison to Yuan, but instead levers himself to his feet, gingerly to account for his side and the fact he has pain turned on. The healing arte flickers and dims, but doesn't quite stop, this time around. It's only a handful of feet to the bed, which Kratos takes with relative ease in comparison to his near-tumble down the stairs.
[With most of his angelic augments turned off, Kratos is very nearly surprised by how relieving it is, to be able to lie down and not be prepared to rise. He does not bother taking off his shoes, whatever Dirk said; but he does release a tiny sigh as he shades his eyes with one hand, the other still holding the healing arte over his slowly closing wound.]
In this case, I don't think 'need' has anything on 'would like to'. How long has it been since you've rested?
