[This is said with all due calmness, and no hint of the fact that the uniqueness of said friendship has been causing Botta some woes. It's all the explanation he gives, however; the rest is not her business. Kratos explicitly does not smile.]
The hard part will be getting them to trust you. Colette will want to be your friend -- but Raine Sage is the eldest in the group, and she will be difficult to win over. Ordinarily, Lloyd would also trust fairly easily, but I suspect Yuan appearing out of nowhere will have made him more suspicious than usual. Still -- if you can convince Colette and Lloyd, they should accept you into the group. And this will make things easier.

Lloyd will know that this came from me.
