[Hmh. About what Kratos expects; and he's not entirely surprised that it's a bitter wound. He isn't intending to press, but -- there's something about Yuan's tone that makes him wonder. Kratos watches him for a few moments more, trying to puzzle it out, and wondering how Yuan had managed to a commander's rank if he was once a slave; but in the end, it seems like too raw a wound to prod.

[At least it explains why Yuan is so lenient. That he can't put others through what he experienced already makes him among the better men Kratos knows.]

Is there anything you need me to do after the dishes?

[Changing the subject seems to be the best course, especially to establish what Kratos should do with the rest of the day.]
