[It's cleanly healed, or as clean as it can be when they deliberately ensured he'd remain crippled, but if there's anything he can do to maintain the muscles still good, he'd like to be able to do it. Right now, thinking about what he can do is the only life-rope he has. If he stops to consider all that he can't --
[No. Kratos picks up his spoon again to finish his soup, much more slowly now. He's no longer hungry; but it's only prudence to eat as much as he can take.]
