[The silence over eating could be uncomfortable, or awkward. And it is, in some respects, but it doesn't settle too heavily on Yuan's shoulders.]

[Another thing that he's noting is interesting is hearing Kratos's voice peaceful, rather than raised over the din of battle.]

The dresser is easy enough. As is a map.

[It's conceivable Kratos shouldn't have a detailed map of Nidavellir, but it isn't as though he's going to be able to go anywhere fast without being noticed and stopped. Yuan has already decided giving him a blade, even one as small as a razor, is an acceptable idea. Still, there should probably be some compromise there.]

I'll make up a list of duties for you. I doubt I'll have any visitors; anyone who would come looking for me would likely be my direct subordinates, and even then only in case of some emergency.

[Still, he can give Kratos names and descriptions.]

[It isn't like Kratos will need the fine details of telling marital status and who's looking for whom.]
