"Why is that so surprising," Camo asked. "My participation won't do you a lick of good, and someone needs to pay attention to what you're doing as you focus, to make note of the little things that might distract you. Since I've had some practice with that type of thing before, I'm probably the best person for-" The archer suddenly shut up when he remembered Gylfie's presence. She was an artist, wasn't she? That gave him an idea. "Now that I think of it...Maybe we could ask your artist friend over there to give us a hand. Hey, Ms. Rembrandt! Don't suppose you'd fancy helping out a little, would you?" The thought never occurred to Camo that his recruiting her was hardly different from Kuro's tagging along to observe the class.

If Gylfie did agree to help, he would suggest, "All you need to do is keep an eye on us for a little while. Watch our posture, our breathing, any tiny nuances or quirks that could be a disruption. We'll take a break at some point and compare what we each noticed about ourselves to what you saw. Meditation isn't usually so interactive, but once you've had some practice, you might learn how to pick up on these things yourselves." Yes, this would mean that Camo will be meditating as well; yes, he needs the opportunity to forget some of his pent-up stress, and he's all too aware of that; and yes, his choice of words would mean that he would want Gylfie to watch himself as well. "Because the best teacher is also a student," he'd quip if asked why she needed to observe him. "My own practices are far from perfect; this'd be a good chance to see if I've improved at all."
