[Yuan doesn't expect it. Kratos's movement is obvious, and he isn't startled, but nevertheless... he isn't expecting to be hugged.]

[Perhaps, then, Kratos needs someone to hold him. It's simple enough, even if Yuan doesn't have much practice, to put his arms around Kratos's shoulders in turn.]

[It's warm. For some moments, Yuan even forgets to question why Kratos would turn to him for this. He's here, after all. This is something friends do, when needed or wanted. There's no one else, and nothing else important right now.]

Take as long as you need.

[Yuan does not, he finds, really want to let go.]
