[He's tested his good leg already, and while he's hurt his knee, he already knows it will hold his weight. No carrying should be necessary; it's rising which is the hard part. Having said this, and entirely ignoring Yuan's pointed observation, Kratos proceeds to attempt to rise again, using the wall and Yuan's shoulder.
[It works -- mostly. The bruises on his back and sides flare up as he goes, making his breath catch and his body flinch; but he muscles through it, and with Yuan there he manages to get to his feet.
[But it hurts. His hip, his thigh, what's meant to be his good knee, his back and shoulders -- and then there's that unnerving and painful catch in his side he suspects might now be a cracked rib.]
... I'm going to be slow.
[To say the least. But he's fairly sure he can manage. No -- he will manage.]
