[Once Kratos started talking, it's been one surprise after another. It doesn't process at all, at first, and Yuan has to wonder if he heard what he thought he heard. When he's sure about it he laughs, abrupt and startled and more at himself than at Kratos.]

[There is, it seems, a lot he'd never realized. He covers his eyes for a moment, just -- absorbing -- and then settles, regarding Kratos rather than the food still.]

I don't think that particular tactic will work for everyone.

[It's dry and disbelieving in equal measures.]
