[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

_{[ It did a little, but he maybe needed it. Meditation was not something he exactly enjoyed, though he did understand why it was a necessary pursuit for himself, especially considering the things that had happened over the course of the past year. ]}

I get to that state when I'm moving - running, usually. I just... let my mind float, so to speak. I thought I could achieve it being still, but it seems like that'll be beyond me.

_{[ His mouth twitched into a little smile. ]}

Did I mention I'm not very good at sitting still?

[lord_wizard]

Not in those precise words, but I think I'd deduced that much. Why not take a run around the ship if you find that preferable?

[universal_charm]

Or maybe a walk with company? I've always preferred company to solitary contemplation.

_{[ He pushed himself to his feet, brushing off his backside. ]}

A turn around the gardens?

[lord_wizard]

I suppose we can try it your way for a little while.

[He gestures forward, as a signal for Kirk to lead the way]

[universal_charm]

This place is coming along. Have you had much of a hand in it or are you solely keeper of the library?

[lord_wizard]

The gardens? No...no, not at all. I enjoy plants. I enjoy learning about them. I simply suffer the affliction of most academics, in that I can't always put to practical use the knowledge I accumulate.

[He smiled somewhat sheepishly, hands clasping lightly behind his back as they started to walk]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He could not help but give a tiny laugh at that. ]}

Maybe not right away, but you never know. Someday in the strangest situations it might come in handy. Especially on a journey like this.

[lord_wizard]

Possibly. The problem is there is far too much to learn, which is something that has been plaguing me even before Atroma decided it fit to bring me here, but someone it seems more onerous.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He laughed softly. ]}

But that's sort of a nice thing, isn't it? There's always something to learn - it never stops. I think it would be, well, boring if we ever learned everything there is to know.

[lord_wizard]

[He smiled softly]

You have me there. I'd probably be even more upset if that were true. I think you have a more scholarly mind that you seem to give yourself credit for.

[universal_charm]

Well, I never said I don't like learning. I love history books, actually, and non-fiction. I suppose I just tend to leave the deep, philosophical thinking for others.

[lord_wizard]

A hobby difficult to avoid when there is so much time to think. [He smiles ruefully]

Was it your idea to try meditation or did someone suggest it?

[universal_charm]

Suggested, but I think that probably obvious, right? There was an... incident, about a year ago. Meditation was suggested to help deal with the problem. It kind of worked, I think, but I had to modify. I meditate better when I run.
