[After Sheena is sent off with instructions and Kratos's locket, life at the base becomes unexpectedly and interminably difficult. Although one could argue that Kratos's time spent in Iselia was, essentially, a holding pattern, the idea of events occurring beyond these walls and Kratos even can't get in on them is almost more than he can bear.
[He takes a long time to act, it's true. But once he does, he finds it hard to stop moving until all is complete. Always, always, moving forward. And now he can't do that. Now, he's confined to this ridiculously convoluted and electrical base.
[Once his work on the mana data is done, Kratos occupies his time with reading through Yuan's library and sneaking out of his room without his guards. This mostly occurs by using the ventilation shafts he's noted, and mapping the system, followed by dutiful reports on the ventilation's state of cleanliness whenever he's inevitably found and returned.
[This, naturally, inevitably results in handcuffs. Which results in Kratos using those implements to pick the lock. Which leads to curries in the kitchen. Which leads to an inspection of his room and possessions. Which leads to more handcuffing.
[It's something to do. Even Kratos can only take so much waiting, with so much at stake; somehow, waiting was much easier when he was wearing his cruxis crystal. Waiting is also easier when he can keep his skills up to level, even if those skills involve evading his guards in increasingly creative ways.
[So waking up properly handcuffed to his bed, and having to wait to be released, is not precisely an oddity after a while. Waking up needing to shave, however, is.]
DADLINESS; a question of shaveability
