[Trusting Kratos is a bit of a stretch, as far as Yuan's concerned.]

[Or maybe it isn't. Friendship or lack thereof aside, Yuan probably can let Kratos at his back. The space between his shoulder-blades will prickle all the while, but he has no cause right now to think Kratos will turn on him.]

Fine, then. Can we continue?

[The sooner they move on from matters that are likely to be emotional, the better. It's for Yuan's sake as much as Kratos's.]

[Raine nods, agreeing.]

For the moment, we'll agree to trust you. Is that all the background we'll need to move forward, or is there more?

[She's gently prodding, trying to keep everyone on track and -- maybe -- spare them having to bare too much of their souls. She herself is still caught in the crux of decision, still assessing whether or not to reveal their heritage. Although she does suspect Lloyd and Kratos will need to have a long talk later.]

[Sheena glances between Yuan and Kratos a few more times, trying to make sense of their relationship by their posture alone. It really isn't working. Maybe Colette's on to something, but then again Colette also started assuming Sheena was her friend long before Sheena stopped trying to kill her.]

[...all of these people are weird. But she does like them.]

So, uh. I'm guessing you want me to... make pacts with the spirits instead?

[Harking back to much earlier in the conversation, before any awkward familial revelations started happening.]
