"Oh," Kratos says, somewhat embarrassed. Of course Zelos doesn't know his name. They've only just met. "Sorry. It's Kratos."

He wonders if Zelos knows anything about him, has anything to attach to his name. Likely not. The humans wrote him out of their history.

And then Zelos asks about the core crystals.

"Ah," Kratos says. "Well, it seemed cruel to leave them in those caves, where it would be unlikely they would be found again," he answers. That, and nothing more. If Zelos wants to know what he intends on doing with them, Zelos will have to ask, though Kratos would really rather he didn't.
