[Wordlessly, Kratos follows the command and shuts the door. He doesn't dare move forward from his spot. Right now, Mithos is his lord. Any and all actions will be determined by his word.
That said, standing like a statue isn't appropriate in this situation. After a short moment of silence and stillness, he gets down on one knee and bows before the boy who is his lord.]
Before arriving in Exsilium, I had been transported to yet another world, one also in the midst of war. You had been there, as well. However, there had been others from our world there, individuals from the future.
[There's a brief pause here as Kratos debates the best way to continue.]
This future is not how you and I envisioned it. The person I had been last week was from that future. It does not excuse the behavior I displayed towards you, but it is the truth.
[Part of him debates stopping here but decides against it. More is left to be said. No, more needs to be said.]
Back in Death City, not only had I done all in my power to prevent this future, but I had also done my best to keep the truth from you by means of lying and purposeful vagueness, something rendered useless when you had found Yuan's ring among Lloyd's possessions. You loathed me for a time until I revealed my lie. I begged you to not ask details of this future and you agreed in exchange for swearing me to an oath of truth.
[An oath that he's adhering to even here. Never again will he lie to Mithos like that. Never.]
Which is why I ask the same plea once more of you, my lord... my friend. Should you wish to hear the details of the future, I will unquestioningly obey and provide those, however I beg you not to do so.
