Oh, I lost that a long time ago when my face hit the sand.
[another joke as she bumps her knuckles against his, but she's watching as he shifts his legs, and she positions her own similarly, even though they feel like dead weight just now. fang moves aside and curls around behind her - if nothing else to assist in keeping her upright. vi smiles at the first compliment, stills at the second, blinking but not balking.]
Yeah. Sure, I'll give it a go.
[she lets out a breath, unsure of what to do next.]
Alright. Relax your shoulders, close your eyes— and focus on how you’re breathing. If you start thinking about other things, it’s okay. Just bring yourself back to breathing when you do.
[ and from there, shoyo will instruct vi on the basics of meditation. it’s a simple thing, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. results come with practice and daily use.
if she does end up using it through her daily routines, she’ll find it does do her good in the long run. stress. pressure. clear-mindedness. balance, even. it helps.
[it's easier to relax than usual because of the exhaustion, but still - yeah, a bit of leftover tension there that the warmth of her omen - the fire - and the tone of shoyo's voice helps to ease out of her. breathing is pretty easy once she realizes she keeps holding it (maybe that's one reason she's sighing so much). where her thoughts had been racing days earlier - and this might have been impossible - now? she's drank, screamed, cried, punched and shouted at the ocean until all her waves are defeated, and she's more just like the shallow pool she'd found on the beach, or the crackling cinders of what had been a blaze. her mind wanders a few times, but it's back to breath soon enough. some of those breaths are sighs, but, hey.
she comes out to the beach every morning to look for her sister, and to look for starks. she can take a few moments there, or on the roof of her room when the moon is safe to be under.]
