[It is, essentially, permission, even as dismissive as it sounds, and Kratos takes it as such, already considering how to get the olive tree up to health. These first fruits he will have to ferment; he doesn't have the equipment for pressing yet, and it would be a shame to waste them.
[Kratos's good mood lasts for the rest of the evening, tangibly so, and he intends to request Yuan's help moving his room the next day. The morning -- does not quite go as planned. Mostly owing to the fact that when Kratos gets up in the morning, his bad leg immediately buckles.
[With a sharp breath Kratos manages to catch himself on his cot before he hits the floor, and thankfully it doesn't hit the wall in turn. He's been good about paying attention to the needs of his leg, without letting it stop him from doing the things he needs to do; that it should fail on him so completely after just one day of extra activity is both surprising and frustrating.
[Getting dressed takes extra time, that morning. As does walking, with an extra careful hitch in his step. Every single one hurts, even if Kratos manages to keep it off his face. He doesn't keep it out of his ginger movements.
[He has an olive tree. This is bearable, and will pass. The olive tree will still be there.]
