[Why is Yuan telling him all this, anyway? A little disgruntled, a little wry, Yuan passes a hand across his eyes.]

I'm not telling you the reasons. Nor am I telling you what I'm not telling you.

What I am saying is that I will explain many things eventually, because you have a right to know.

[Part of it is that Zelos is ten. It makes a risk to him and to others. Part of it is that Yuan really doesn't want to explain all of the things that have gone wrong right now. There are more reasons, regarding trust and the line between Zelos and the Chosen, but right now this suffices.]

Until then, I request your patience.
