[Kratos does know. It's one of the things which had made he and Yuan different from Mithos, in the end; that they had been willing to embrace pain, for the benefit it brought them, no matter how it made them feel. But knowing, understanding, having that philosophy doesn't change that, right now, Kratos can't.]
I don't remember how to turn it back on.
[It's been a very long time since he's had it turned on. Yuan's remark does make Kratos glance toward him, but the notion of comparing healing artes with an actual healer is very nearly strange. You're comparing me to her?]
I'm not a healer. I just -- know some artes. Or ... did.
[He's not sure he remembers them either. Kratos waits for a beat to be sure Raine is finished, and then lowers the shirt again. ]
