[What was happening in Mizuho ...? It's a query, but a faded one without much need for an answer; enough to highlight that Kratos did hear that, and see there's some information there. It's more interesting to watch the interactions, to hear the fondness in Yuan's tone.

[It makes Kratos feel conflicted -- that Yuan has, finally, again found pople about whom he can care; and that Kratos missed it.]

Uh -- yeah, and Sylph. It's not that great.

[Sheena sounds embarrassed, but Colette shakes her head at her.]

No one's gotten one summon spirit, let alone two. Not since Mithos the Hero. It's amazing. You're amazing.

Ah, stop.

[Definitely embarrassed, and very nearly blushing. Kratos glances at Yuan sidelong, dry humour suffusing his mental voice. You've surrounded yourself with people who lack self-assurance, I see. How do they put up with you?]
