Oh dear. Koumyou takes that in stride, though, and says cheerfully, "Well... there's no place to start like the start!"

Someone's going to learn meditation!

"You might find it useful in general anyway, I certainly do. The ability to hit a... reset button of sorts, when my mind tries to run off on itself? It's come in handy on many an occasion."

Koumyou doesn't have a Valdana in his background; no one person to really stand out in his history, but he has plenty of trauma from his life. And his death.

It's a different kind, but what helps him might help Devero, too.

Which wouldn't be too shabby for a side benefit on the way to learning something bigger, would it?
