[The recent change of scenery, from the dry stone of the labyrinth's walls, decorated only occasionally with vines, to a much more vibrant sort of setting full of plants and water. It certainly seems more peaceful, even if it isn't. Zenyatta seems to have taken to it well enough, with his prison jumpsuit still on, although the top half of is just wrapped around his waist. Yeah, he just wears whatever he's put in, although it already has a few holes in it.

He's not bothered by the slight drizzle of rainfall currently happening, either. But can you really tell, with an unmoving faceplate like his?]

Greetings, everyone. I apologize if I have been ... standoffish, recently. Sometimes I forget how quickly time passes, especially so when I am meditating.

It has come to my attention lately that I am not the only one who could benefit from from the act of meditation.

[You people know who you are.]

I know that the situation we find ourselves in right now is not the easiest, and it has not been easy in some time. But it is exactly because of this, that we must be resolute in our tranquility. Guard well your thoughts, and the rest will follow.

Please seek me out, should you need help in finding your tranquility, or even if you simply would like someone to talk to. Also, if you require healing. Now that I have found these again-

[His orbs, finally back around his neck and floating.]

I will be able to help restore others physically as well. Be careful, my friends.

A sight that has already occurred once.

[He wasn't here for it, though.]

If you would feel vulnerable, then I do not recommend you participate. But there are others who would benefit from meditation, regardless of the situation. This is for them.

[fourscores]

Has it? I'm sure everyone was thrilled with that.

What can I say. I've seen enough meditation sessions go wrong to think this doesn't have the best timing.

[iomnic]

I feel an obligation to ask exactly what the meditation sessions you have seen have entailed.

[fourscores]

[He chuckles.]

I grew up with meditation, so I've seen a lot.

Meditating while there is danger nearby is... Well perhaps it simply went wrong because of the way Ionians are.

[iomnic]

Ionians?

[fourscores]

My people, from the nation Ionia. Peaceful, almost never resort to violent solutions if it can be avoided. More interested in spiritual enlightenment, balance, and magic. Not the best temperament to have when a brutish nation decides to invade and kill anyone in their path.

[iomnic]

[That story...]

Oh. I see. I am so sorry.

[It strikes close to home.]

I promise that those who would elect to meditate with me, I would protect with my life.

[fourscores]

While I don't doubt you would do so, I can't say it makes it seem any less dangerous. Perhaps I'm just overly cautious.

[iomnic]

I understand, but I won't rescind my offer. We will be careful. I am grateful for your concern.
