[She takes a seat, adjusting her hair so as not to sit on it and waits for... whatever it is she's supposed to do next.]

[hadthehighground]

[Once she sits, Obi-Wan does the same. Sitting so that he's facing her. The man sitting in a meditative posture with his legs folded and his hands resting on his kness.]

The first thing is to close your eyes.

[As he said that, he did so himself.]

Now, breathe in. [He took a deep breath.] And breathe out. [And then he exhaled slowly as well.]

Focus on that. Just breathe, and empty your mind.

[lightthedarkness]

[She could do this, it was just breathing, right? Just... focus on the in and out, she tells herself, and for the most part (though some part of her suspected it helped that Obi-Wan who always made her feel calm was also there) she was able to do as he instructed and emptied her mind.

She fights the urge to ask "and now?" She wonders if he can hear her thoughts anyways? She really doesn't get how the Force works.]

[hadthehighground]

[He can to some extent. Especially now as he too lapses into a light meditative state. Allowing him connect better with the Force and have greater clarity of everything around him.

He could feel the light buzz of impatience, but let them sit in silence for several moments before speaking again.]

Calm your mind, Usagi. Listen to the world around you. What do you hear?

[lightthedarkness]

[What did she hear? What did she hear, she wondered? She took a deep breath, what did she hear? She heaaaard her own breathing, she heard birds in the trees, she heard the soft rustling of the wind in the leaves.]

Nature, I guess? [Unless he wanted her to go into detail?]

[hadthehighground]

[A little smile came back to Obi-Wan's face.]

That's right. There is life all around us. The birds, the trees, you, me, even the breeze. All of this is the Force, and the Force is in us. It is life.

By listening to the Force, listening to the life within you, you can find inner peace.

[lightthedarkness]

And... what is the Force supposed to tell me? [Can she even hear it, all things considered? She knew to Anakin and Obi-Wan she was rather... blinding in the Force, but that didn't mean she had access to it, did she? Just because she explained how a senshi was a senshi didn't suddenly mean someone could become one.]

[hadthehighground]

That is something you must discover for yourself Usagi.

[Not helpful, he knows, but he goes on.]

The Force is connected to us all in varying degrees and speaks to us. Telling us it’s will for the good of all. You can hear it by listening to your feelings. And I don’t mean whatever emotions comes first to you. You must look deep within and search yourself. That is where meditation comes in.

1/2

[lightthedarkness]

[She presses her lips together to hold back the beleaguered sigh because you're right, Obi-Wan, that isn't helpful. Vague doesn't work for Usagi. She inhales.]

2/2

[lightthedarkness]

And what if the Force doesn't or can't talk to me. Just because it connects all of us doesn't mean I can understand it. I'm also from a different galaxy with... my own set of powers and abilities.

[She's very much able to already reach deep within herself, it's the meditation itself that she has no grasp of. How is this all supposed to help her calm down and not blow up like that again?]
