It's only just long enough to tag Kratos with a little piece of his mana. Most people wouldn't even feel the difference. Kratos, human and more blind to mana than he was, may yet not.]
[The seal that is in him may.]
[And then Yuan draws Kratos aside, slow but with the strength underlying it that Kratos won't be able to surpass, and cuffs him to the towel rack. The second wrist may be the difficulty, but he reaches for Kratos's other hand nevertheless.]
It's gotten paranoid. And while I prefer you living, it's inhibiting some of your day-to-day.
