[Yuan slips out from under Kratos, and pulls him up after, grip firm on Kratos's forearms. He doesn't let go until he's absolutely sure Kratos is stable, and even then he waits another moment or two before actually stepping away. The children will be awake soon, I think. I see where you're looking. There's a ground that should suit, yes. You and Flamberge can get reacquainted.]
[With that said, Yuan turns, the faint mental thread of contact remaining even as he skirts the puppy-pile of children and vanishes up the stairs.]
[Raine glances between the two of them, thoughtful, like she has some sense that there's a communication she's missing; but she doesn't say anything, only sits down with her toast and lets her gaze track back to where Genis is dozing. She's pensive.]
[Ultimately the only one who has stirred before Yuan returns is Sheena, who shows no sign of slow waking, only sits up and stretches her arms over her head before getting up properly, freeing herself from the others without disturbing them at all. She ignores Kratos completely and heads straight for the kitchen, apparently only one thought on her mind.]
[Then Yuan's back, Flamberge carried in his left hand. He has it by the guard, not the hilt, and as he comes into the room sunlight passes through the translucent blade and casts a shadow like fire across the floor.]

Here.
[He offers the hilt first.]
