[Yuan can't tell if it means he feels safe or if it means he's so utterly exhausted he couldn't care if he drowned or not. It does make Yuan himself relax a little in turn, though, now unobserved, and he works at the tangles with a patience created mostly by stubbornness. In the end there is some trimming he has to do, for the worst of it, but Kratos cleans up well enough.]
[...and is still asleep. Yuan supposes he can't fault him, after everything he's been through, but it does complicate some matters.]
[In the end he leaves Kratos there only long enough to put linens on the cot in the second room. It's awkward, hauling Kratos out of the bath and into a towel, made all the more difficult by trying not to put his hands or eyes anywhere neither of them would want them. Mercifully Kratos seems deeply unconscious, and they will never speak of this if Yuan has anything to say in the matter.]
[He puts Kratos to bed, leaves a brief note on the back of the door just in case Kratos wakes -- though he doubts it, with that exhaustion -- and goes, regrettably, shopping.]
