[Given how tumultuous his and Yuan's relationship has been, there must be some degree of Kratos's trust influencing the seal; for all that Yuan and Kratos have fought before, Yuan at his back has never been a threat. Sometimes, the seal isn't wary of things it should be wary of. Not until an attack has already been levelled.]

Yuan has always bypassed a lot of the seal's usual caution. If it were just Yuan, it should be fine. But it's not just Yuan. Kratos ended that loophole by presenting his back to the Desian whip-masters, and both he and Lloyd had suffered to ensure the seal wouldn't retaliate. And then Yuan.
[No. It's too late to have anyone at his back, now.]
... I think you should probably be careful about it.
