Well, that was the opposite of relaxing. Sophia tensed, opening her eyes and glaring at the monk, who kept the same calm posture and expression. That was twice now she'd been told she was trying too hard. Lan must have heard the slight huff to her breathing. She closed her eyes again, trying to think only of the silence - which, of course, meant a lack of distractions.

Thoughts of recent events played through her mind like a nightmare. Her shoulders trembled, and her formerly even breaths turned into a soft whimper. Ugh, this was no good. Even if this wasn't the same kind of meditation she was used to, someone like her should be better at this. She was just going to get lectured again. Just as always.

She needed to think comforting thoughts. Music, and the company of Pokemon. Chimecho's lullaby. Herself, as a child, singing to a Musharna, watching her relax. The sound of the Celestial Tower's bell. Cradling her Gothita for the first time, the little Pokemon listening to her soothing song.

Some level of calm began to settle over her - and with it came a vague awareness of something. Raising her head in surprise, she focused, the presence at the edge of her consciousness growing a little sharper. A Psychic-type Pokemon? Looking over, she noticed a nearby figurine - or rather, what looked like a figurine.

A Darmanitan, in the form only a few could take on? She'd heard reports about a group of Darmanitans in Zen Mode guarding ruins in Unova's desert, but this was the first time she'd seen one display such an ability.
