[Patience. Yuan occupies himself with his own exercises as Kratos works through -- whatever it is he's working through. The basics are a good, solid review, anyway, for teaching as much as for his own peace and control.]

[And when static sparks Yuan smiles, soft and genuine, where no one at all will see it.]

[There. Start there. He taps one finger in reinforcement, and focuses his mana in the pattern to that area, flowing just a hair stronger there, as though encouraging Kratos's. Perhaps it will simply spark more, and remind Kratos there's nothing to fear from it; perhaps Kratos will be able to match his levels with the example so close.]

[It isn't much. But it is a reassurance, and one Yuan can't help but be glad for.]
