[Hm. That requires a bit of thought. Changing the layout of the bedroom, yes; learning how to braid his own hair, also yes. Familiarising himself with the laundry machines, in case they were overly different from the ones he knew. Familiarising himself with the kitchen, for a similar reason. A map of the city would be useful. A solid indication of his duties and what Yuan needs to have done by the time he returns during the day.
[Something to do if those duties aren't sufficient to keep him busy, also.
[Making a mental list, and prioritising it, takes up most of the time Kratos eats, until he finally lays down his utensils and folds his arms on the table. His voice is neutral, like he hasn't just been considering the tones of his life from now on. If he approaches it as a duty like anything else, he can manage.]
I need to move the dresser; it's inconvenient where it is now. I won't be able to manage it by myself. I'll need a map of the city, with an indication of where I'm allowed to go. Some indication of other similar cultural things -- like my hair, or whether I'm wearing my clothes correctly. A list of things you need done by the time you return, and any duties I may need to consider either daily or regularly. People I should expect to come to your door at any time.

[He suspects this last list will be a short one.]
