[It's an odd conversation to be the subject of. Yuan tends the herbs, though his gaze flicks up and between them fairly often, still trying to get some better feel for the tenor of the argument. If it is one.]

I might start with smaller things, if it was only integrity you wanted to demonstrate.

[This is quiet, still, but a comment Yuan feels he needs to put in.]

[Also, he dislikes the idea of being simply an object lesson. Would Kratos have done the same for anyone? ...well, perhaps. But then again that's of a piece with Kratos's honor.]

[Yuan doesn't know where his thoughts or this conversation are going, and it irritates him.]

You're sensible to be cautious.
