[Yuan's reassurances quite often sound like threats; regardless, it makes Kratos smile, the implication that Yuan would help Kratos find them at any time (provided, Kratos surmises, that Kratos does what Yuan wants in the interim). It doesn't precisely help him relax, knowing that Lloyd and Colette are out there. Raine has a good head on her shoulders, but she doesn't know what Kratos knows; although there's some he's told them, there's still more he intended to tell them as time went on and he could properly judge events.
[So it's only a mild reassurance, but enough of one. Kratos slides off the bed, but carefully, with one hand still on the bed. His legs are wobbly but they hold; then he takes a step and they hold a little less well. One leg buckles and Kratos catches himself on the bed with a grunt, the sharp movement setting up an aching pound in his knees and hips and shoulders.]
