[Kratos never hits the ground, and isn't that practically strange; as strange as when the world tilted, the mana draining out of him into the seal, and yet he was caught before he fell. He's not used to being caught. He's not used to not standing alone, even now, still, after everything he and Yuan have just said.
[He can't help but laugh, quiet and wry and slightly bitter, his head tilting back to rest on Yuan's shoulder as their feet touch the floor once again. Even then, most of his weight is on Yuan, behind him.]
Apparently. I should have been able to --
Should have been able to what, yeh idiot?
[That from Dirk, furious and half their height, but no less annoyed than Yuan.]
There's no shame in accepting help. Think how Lloyd would feel if he comes back to find out you've driven yourself into the ground because you were too stubborn to acknowledge you needed it!
