➳ JEE;
“I thought all of it connected when somebody was asleep too. But meditation? This is new for me. Yes, I want to learn, Antauri.”
She smiled kindly to him, but she wasn’t going to leave him suffer alone if he did. She knew what she saw.
“Just promise to talk to me when things get tough, OK?” She brushed his cheeks and pet his head.
His guard was ( off ) at the moment she touched his face & head like that. Despite his senses were continuously alert, a gesture of such that kind wasn’t something he could foresee. Jee was empathetic— way beyond the boundaries he has silently imposed since the moment he left Shuggazoom, the Monkey Team & his old life away.
〚——❝( I think we should take cautious steps with trust however. But I appreciate your care. )❞〛
He swallowed then cleaned his throat. His sight was starting to get oily; he had to move as soon as possible to avoid his sentiments dominate his mind.
〚——❝Certainly, during the sleep there exists a connection. Not purely of our control, such like it happens while we meditate. We have no control of our dreams, for example; while in meditation we can control which thoughts are more worth focusing.
It seems complex at first sight, but it’s going to get easier with time, I promise.❞〛
“It’s alright, Antauri. I’m alone on this world and so you are, but we can be friends together. I’m with you, OK? I’m not pressing you anyways.”
She held his chin for a bit before leaving him alone. She realized he was starting to feel uncomfortable or troubled with the things she said, so it was better if she respected his decisions. At least with that she was clear and she hoped he would come to her if he felt bad since now.
And after that, she listened his explanation of meditation, it was strange and curious how things that were basically the same now were different because of small details. And he was so simple with words that she got it really quick.
“I guess I know where you’re going. So you sit and think and that’s all?”
