[Yuan barely flinches. Quietly Kratos marks up the quality of Mac Gabhann's work. Certainly the smith himself doesn't seem surprised at the lack of bargaining; only satisfied.]

Hah. Had any issues with my blade yet?

[It's a confident question which lacks the need for an answer; because the answer is, of course, 'no', and Mac Gabhan expects it to be 'no' for the brace as well. At least he isn't foolish about it, as evidenced when he turns to lecture Kratos.]

You might need to limit the time you wear it, until your hip and balance adjust; and you'll probably notice some aches in your leg in the interim. You'll be able to pack it dismantled -- just make sure the ends are packed against something soft. In terms of climate conditions, treat it like you would an suit of armour. Got that?

[Kratos nods and picks up his cane, deferring to Yuan for the rest of the transaction.]
