I remember. I just thought you'd decided against it.
[There isn't an explicit change in Kratos's expression, but his demeanour has softened perceptibly, for someone watching closely. He fits the bracelets around his wrists, one after the other, and around the cuff of his tunic as true armguards would.
[They fit nicely, pinning fabric down, and the weight of them is unexpectedly nostalgic, enough to make Kratos feel homesick in a way he hasn't in a very long time. It isn't the kind of homesick for a location, so much as a different time, a different purpose; and though he knows it's something which can never be recovered, he also knows that Yuan intends to take him into the field with him. The position isn't the same; but the lifestyle and the purpose is not entirely lost.
[Kratos looks up at Yuan from examining them on his wrists, his gaze open and a touch rawer than he realises.]

Thank you.
