((Just to be clear, Camo is observing, not meditating.))

Oh, there'll be plenty of time for more incorrect names later; at least Camo was sticking with ones that sounded something like "Gretel"...for now. This wasn't the time for pressing her buttons, though. That would just get her angry, if anything, and that would mean extending their lessons further, which would likely prove unpleasant for all parties involved.

"Yeah, that's a bit better," he told Gretel. "Just remember to breathe slowly and normally. There were a few moments just now where you were holding your breath, probably because you were focused on relaxing your muscles. This is starting to look less and less like a one-time lesson..."

A brief pause followed as Camo pondered something, then he suggested, "OK, here's the deal: it's easier to find a state of real calm if you're not trying to suppress a ton of subconscious quirks at the same time. You can keep trying like this if you want, but if you want to really get the most out of meditation, you'll need some help working out what your quirks are and whether or not you're learning to take them in stride." A pained sigh before he added, "And as much of a pain as it'd be...I'd probably be the best person for that job..."
