Sometime early August

how can you tell when your meditating and not just really relaxed in the sun?

[ Was he supposed to meet her up with training? Did he miss a day? After things, he's lost enough track of time that the guy isn't sure what day it is.

At least Sharak knows the guy well enough that she knows this isn't a random joke text coming from out of the blue? ]

[bussounoshima]

If you're tired, go to bed. Stop sleeping outside.

[Oh, she knows it's not a joke. This is a sincere question. Which makes it even dumber.]

[bartenderizing]

im not that kind of tired

and i wasnt sleeping either

[ He'll always be sincere, Sharak. Until he starts picking up too much of Izumo's habits, of which you should beat the shit out of him, should those habits start to crop up. ]

[bussounoshima]

[She honestly suspects Shizuo is terrible at sleeping through the night. Go to bed, idiot. But fine, she'll answer the question seriously now.]

Relaxing in the sun is an important part of meditating. They're not mutually exclusive.

What kind of tired are you?

[bartenderizing]

[ He actually sleeps pretty alright at night, in his bed. Well, sometimes in his bed. When your god is a goddess of summer, and these older-styled temples get really warm. So you have to be cool to get some good sleep. ]

but i do that all the time. isnt there supposed to be more to meditating?

the tired from after an ablution

[ Not saying whether it was on him or another, but YA KNOW. It's not much of a reach. ]

[bussounoshima]

That depends on the kind of meditation you're doing. We can incorporate more of it into your training,
if you're that interested.

[Is meditation more or less boring than the repetitive tasks Sharak usually demands... Well, at least she's less likely to interrupt meditation with surprise gunfire.

And no, it's not much of a reach. Sharak frowns.]

There are different kinds of resting. Relaxing in the sun is one of many.

ive been resting and sleeping for more than long enough. at this point its getting me nowhere and everyones finding me to give me a piece of their mind

no clue what kinds of meditation there are. just that i need to start making progress on something

[ Seeing as he doesn't seem to think he's making any on the physical side of things. At least not in any way he can see. ]

[bussounoshima]

So you want some space from your friends and you want to accomplish something.

[And so he's come to her. She's a little surprised he doesn't expect her to give him a piece of her mind.]

Come by my temple. I might have something for you, and you won't be found by anyone here.

[bartenderizing]

[ He's not exactly thinking that far ahead. He went as far as 'ask about that meditation thing' and sent off the text. Then again, he wasn't really planning on bringing up the ablution in the first place.

Shizuo just didn't think enough to lie, or even avoid mentioning that he was tired. ]

its not like their all really my friends

but uh k

[ He'll be a little while, not as quick as he normally would when told to meet up with someone somewhere, but it sort of goes along with that whole 'tired' thing. ]

[bussounoshima]

[Someone needs to sit Shizuo down and explain the value in thinking more than five seconds ahead some time. Sharak isn't going to be the one to do it.]

Sounds complicated.

Shout when you get here.
