What's meditate? Can I see?

[savedtheworld]

You don't know about meditation? You can watch it, but it's - it's kinda boring. Basically it's when you sit down and close your eyes, but instead of sleeping, you let your thoughts slip out of your body! It's a special kind of concentration that I like a lot, and it can be calming and help you feel at one with nature.

[wildlittlegirl]

[ See this face? This is the face of someone who has been listening to something that's going right over their head. ]

Um... I don't really understand... I'm sorry.

[savedtheworld]

[He frowns slightly, afraid that this nice girl won't really understand him.]

Really? Okay, maybe I should try to explain it better. It's kind of like... you know how your brain's always full of thoughts? It's about making your mind quiet and calm and still. And that lets you hear or feel what your spirit's trying to say. Does that sound better?

[wildlittlegirl]

... I think I get it, now. A little. So, you stop thinking, and then... [ ... theeen she's lost again. ]

[savedtheworld]

[He blinks for a moment, as if expecting her to finish that sentence, and then he laughs. In an endearing rather than teasing way. She's trying at least.]

It's okay. Maybe you'll get the hang of it if you try it, or see me try it. But we don't have to do that now if you don't wanna - I wanna do whatever you wanna do.

[wildlittlegirl]

I want to see where you're talking about.

[ That much she knows! ]

[savedtheworld]

Okay then. Here we are...

[And then they come to a quiet, peaceful-looking clearing.]

I guess first for meditation out here, is finding just the right spot to sit...

[He releases her hand with a little reluctance - he didn't expect to be missing that touch already - and he feels along the ground before looking up with a smile.]

I'll pick right here! This ground feels just... ground-y enough to work! [And he sits cross-legged.] And now I'm gonna start!

[wildlittlegirl]

... What's ground-y feel like?

[ She imitates him, feeling along the ground and trying to feel what he did.

Sorry Aang she might not be the best meditation buddy. ]

[savedtheworld]

[It's a good thing that Aang always have patience - even moreso that Aang finds himself just grinning stupidly at how adorable she is.]

I just mean like... feeling comfortable for the ground, y'know? A spot where you'd like sitting! I think the ground's softer around here.

[He gets up goes near Arietta, then he takes the opportunity to reach for her hand again and tries to calmly guide it along the ground to feel at a more comfortable patch of ground.]

[wildlittlegirl]

[ She lets him guide her hand, but rather than really feeling, she just leans gently against him. ]

I still don't get it... but that's okay I think.

[savedtheworld]

[And as she leans against him, he glows a bright red.]

Y-yeah. It's really okay! It doesn't matter if you get it or not, I'm just... really glad I met you, Arietta. [And he finds himself wrapping his arms around her warmly.]

[wildlittlegirl]

[ Aww! She leans a little closer in his embrace. ]

Me too. I've never been this happy with anyone but Ion before.

[savedtheworld]

[He kind of forgets about meditation in the moment - between the sudden embrace and what she says.]

Really? What do you mean by that? You and Ion...? [Ion may have mentioned her name during one conversation - It was easy to guess they were friends, but he was starting to be afraid of intruding on someone's happiness.]

[wildlittlegirl]

Ion is the Fon Master. Back on Auldrant he's a really important person, so I protected him. He made me really happy...

[ but then he secretly died and everything went to hell and NOW WE'RE HERE 8D ]

[savedtheworld]

He- he did, huh? [It wasn't that long ago that Aang had to break it to Ion that Toph had gone home, so's feeling a bit sympathetic to the guy.] Would he be okay with... with you know... us making each other happy?

[wildlittlegirl]

[ ? ]

Yes. Why wouldn't he?

[savedtheworld]

I don't know! I wasn't sure if you meant he made you happy as a friend, or- or as something else!

[wildlittlegirl]

... Like what?

[ What is never being exposed to normal human relationships. ]

[savedtheworld]

Like, uh... you know! Dating people! Boys and girls wh-who make each other happy with... with hugs and kisses! [And he reddens again, his arms still around her.] Not that we have to or anything! That's just - explaining things is tough!

[wildlittlegirl]

Dating? I've heard of that before. But I never really got what people meant by it...

[savedtheworld]

Oh. Well that's when a - a boy and girl spend time together... to try to be happier together! In a way that's more than being friends and has more of the... hugging and kissing stuff.

[wildlittlegirl]

So it's not dating without hugging and kissing?

[ Because otherwise it does sound a lot like her and Ion... ]

[savedtheworld]

It kind of... could be! I'm not sure when it would count. But if you both have feelings for each other - and maybe you want to, even if you're not - then I guess it still counts? [And he finds himself blurting out.] I... I didn't think I could feel this way for anyone other than Katara...

[wildlittlegirl]

[ Wait, loli is confused. ]

Then... what's dating for?

[ If it's a boy and a girl being happy together but it has kissing and hugging except you can be dating if you want without those and...? ]
