[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.

Use the locator application to find me. I will be here.

Then I shall be there, presently.

[And after some time has past, he does indeed slink into view. Lifts his chin by way of greeting. Smiles his crooked smile.]

[iomnic]

[And there's Zenyatta, cross-legged, and on the ground.]

Hello again. Oh, yes. I intended to thank you for the suit.

[Which he actually did not bring to the mission, so... it's still safely in Oska. "Safely."]

Thank you. Please, take a seat.

[ofobedience]

Oh. Well, you're quite welcome. Hahah.

[he'd be glad to know it's 'safe', along with so many of his suits. He lost a few during this mission, which is unfortunate. But alas.

He moves to take a seat though...in a sense. Crouches down until he's resting on the balls of his feet, hands on thighs]

Hullo.

[iomnic]

That is...

Not exactly a meditative position, Giovanni.

[This might be a little harder than expected.]

[ofobedience]

...I see.

[He doesn't, not quite. There's the uncertain tilt of his head, and he'll take a moment to observe the other Audente's position, moves to emulate it. Even if he doesn't entirely understand what was wrong with the one he'd originally taken.

...it's probably not going to be the easiest task, no.]

[iomnic]

The purpose of sitting like this is for the sake of channeling your energy. There are different meditative positions, but one should not be putting stress on any other part of the body to do so.

[So squatting or crouching is going to eventually make you tired, and thus, not good.]

Now, breathe in deeply for five seconds, and exhale for five seconds.

[ofobedience]

[Ah, well. It takes him longer to tire than most, he could probably maintain the position for a good long time before he needed to move, or before anything started to ache. But he'll take your word for it, that this cross-legged position is the one he ought to take. Even if there's a certain stiffness to the way he sits now, as though this is a position he wouldn't ordinarily adopt.]

Just...breathe?

[The question comes, voice mildly uncertain, but after he asks it he follows the instructions regardless.]

[iomnic]

I have heard it helps one clear their mind.

[And he waits, and watches Giovanni do as asked.]

Now, close your eyes, and repeat it.

[ofobedience]

[He's unsure about that. Doesn't see, in this moment, how it could. but regardless he follows Zenyatta's instructions. Closes his eyes.]

All right.

[And again, he repeats it. His thoughts lingering on what to expect.]
