[One can often find Kratos staring into space for a long period of time. Thus, he probably doesn't seem any different from usual as he sits on a bench and watches the ground, covered lightly with snow, with a pensive expression. Only those who really know of the situation would know what's wrong, otherwise, people would just have to bug him. He

[So guess who feels bad for teasing Kratos about his 'date' at the ball? Yup, that's right. Yuan's not entirely sure what to say or if Kratos would even listen to him, so for now he'll just assess how bad the situation is. Have a careful approach.]

... Kratos.

[Kratos looks at the snow a little longer, and then gives Yuan a glance. From that acknowledgment, it's obvious that it's not as bad as Anna, but... well, that's because that was a lot worse.]

[Yeah, no kidding. Anna was much worse for good reason. Most of the people here would tell Kratos to be happy Svala was sent home, but... Yuan's been there before. Twice. He knows damn well how it feels when the Malnosso decide to take that important person away and it's just not that easy.]

Shouldn't you be getting those groceries home?

[salvationfound]

...Ah. Yes, I should.

[But he makes no move to do it.]

[corrinesbell]

[the last time she tried to butt into anything related to Kratos' business it did not go well. But she knows, anyway, what's going on with him. ...How to handle it?]

[salvationfound]

[If Sheena isn't going to talk to him, Kratos won't give her his attention. He doesn't want to talk to anyone, after all, unless someone was direct with him.]

[corrinesbell]

[well, there's something on her mind that needs sorting out. And if anyone's the man for dealing with vengeance it's Kratos]

...Sorry to bother you, but there's something you've gotta know about.

[salvationfound]

[Well, that'll get him to look up at her, at least.]

[salvationfound]

[Oh hi there, son. Probably not hard to find him, but he won't even look up for you either.]

[salvationfound]

[He glances up at him.]

...Lloyd.

[offallingsnow]

[here, have someone without a working history of Kratos' life or past]

You really shouldn't sit covered in snow like that.

[salvationfound]

[He'll give Nephry a glance, then look down at the snow again. It'll take more than that to rouse the guy out of his depression, Nephry.]

[offallingsnow]

Forgive me for intruding...but is something wrong?

[salvationfound]

No.
