[Please, Yuan. You abducted him. Why should he be helpful?]

Y- yes Lord Yuan!

[The guards take their leave as swiftly as possible. Kratos catches Yuan's considering look, and his eyes narrow. Luckily, Yuan seems to decide against it; but Kratos suspects that if he pushes the issue, all bets will be off. Equally so if he falls over. Time to find out whether the stew has revitalised him enough to make it back to his room. Kratos pushes himself to his feet, and doesn't waver as he moves toward the door.]

I do have a legitimate reason for leaving, you know.
