[It's fascinating watching the exchange with Kratos. He really does notice people, and remember them, and it's clear enough the other man wasn't expecting that. Yuan wonders if he was always this way, or if this is an extension of the way Kratos said Yuan changed him.]

[He almost pities the man.]

He does that.

[Yuan glances over the pottery for himself, then at Kratos.]

It occurs to me I could use some extra plates.

[Because some have been broken, and Yuan's housewares were originally calculated for one person, not a two-person household, and also because it isn't uncommon for money to make people more willing to give information.]

Kratos, I'll let you handle it.

[And will trust his judgment on the matter of the pragmatist, and also plates versus no plates.]
