[@SilverPaw] [color=chocolate]"It's rather cramped and dark in here, but I do believe that the camouflage is doing it's job well."[/color] He gives a sidelong glance to Asteria and her mother and could barely discern them from the surrounding soil in the darkness provided by the foxhole. Even from his position inside of the foxhole, his sharp hearing could still catch the sounds of the outside. He could hear the sounds of what he assumed to be screaming from goblins. He didn't care if the screams were of defeat or triumph, it unnerved him that they were getting so close that his heightened hearing could already pick up such sounds from them. He could feel the uneasiness turn into a palpable sense of fear and panic setting in. He could hear his heartbeat in his ears and felt like someone punched him in the gut. He knew that in this state, he could barely stand straight; what more pull off an ambush and fight. Ed nodded silently in the darkness of the hole, wracking his brain for a means to calm himself. [color=chocolate]'Rest? No no no, can't be caught unaware when we spring the ambush. Breathing exercises? Yeah...that ought to work. I should do that...help calm the nerves and all that.'[/color] He thinks to himself as he begins to meditate as best as he could. Ed relaxes his body and gets comfortable as he could in the cramped hole before controlling his breathing. Taking deep breaths through his nose and releasing his breath through his mouth; emptying his mind and only focusing on the sounds of his breaths and his breathing. Ed did practice breathing exercises, but never really got it into seriously practicing it in his old life. Though now would be a good opportunity as any other to start. Ed had to admit, the act of itself was quite relaxing effect on him considering that they were on the verge of fighting an all out war against green psychopathic midgets hellbent on wiping anything not goblin led by a big hairy asshole, a burned one, and a fellow reincarnate. Though right now, the only thing he was bothered with was the pace of his breathing and calming himself down.
