[It's striking Yuan that they both have things they'd rather not talk about. He just can't figure out why Kratos has a grudge against the theatre. Are they both to continue trying to distract each other and get nowhere?]

Bathe while you're talking. Why... wouldn't you meet them somewhere for a meal, or in your gardens? Somewhere you can give them attention, and not your body?

[Public baths. Maybe someday he'll understand Tethe'allan customs.]

[Briefly, Yuan debates about the wisdom of pressing the theatre issue. He's still dependent on Kratos's goodwill; but Kratos isn't the sort who would break his word for irritation.]

I can't answer for the Sylvaranti populace at large, since I don't watch them bathe, but based on our facilities and culture, I would assume so.

You didn't answer my question.
