She quietly meditated for the remainder of the time, eyes closed - a habit that did indeed benefit from having a second present, rather than sitting alone in that vulnerable state in an unfamiliar place.

But she could not center herself. It was all too distracting. All that she had to do. New dreams. Risky decisions to be made.

If he watched closely, he could likely tell.

But she certainly tried...

Monks had a way of feeling these things even if they didn't observe it with their eyes... Hearing the breath... sensing the incongruence with the Void around the person.

He said nothing... simply moved his hand in a series of quiet motions taught among his sect to break down the barriers between one's self and the unity of the Void. He subtly matched his breathing with Yuna's and then directed it towards the rhythm that would allow her to touch the Void.

Slowly... the feeling of refreshment would seep through the walls of the self... and hopefully bring the ease she sought after.

She could feel the moment when his breath carried her into the peace she craved.

The center is everything. Find the center. All else proceeds naturally from there.

And there it was, falling into place with a sudden ease, leaving her nourished and unburdened. A one-ness. A wholeness.

After, she rose and thanked him.

"JIhen, thank you. I ... you are the meditation partner I needed. Thank you."

Jihen remained seated and politely bowed in deference, "It was my pleasure, I assure you."

He tilted his head slightly and smiled softly, "Feel free to call upon me anytime should you require such assistance."

"I will. But I promise it will be first and foremost for the pleasure of your company and wise conversation."

She bowed again and then turned to depart.

Jihen matched the bow and watched her turn and walk away.

After stealing one more moment's glance, he turned his neck back to face forward, closed his eyes, and entered back to his contemplations...
