Yes? This is a bit unexpected, Drift.

[fastandcurious]

A lot of things about this place are unexpected.

[ Yikes, Catty. And he's supposed to be trying to be nice. ]

This isn't an apology, because you deserved it and I don't think I did anything wrong. I do want to try and... mend bridges or whatever you want to call it. Especially if we're both going to be stuck here for a while.

[pffft]

I see.

[drift he is the head bitch of the autobot catty club and does not mind a little sass]

Well, you wouldn't be the first to greet me in that manner. I don't take those things personally.

[fastandcurious]

I guess you'd have to get used to it.

[ A pause. ]

Anyway, we do meditation and body mindfulness every morning at 0630, bright and early. You're welcome to join us.

[pffft]

[oh. having an invitation to something... feels kinda nice???]

The doctors did recommend your class for medical reasons. I've been meaning to ask you about them.

[fastandcurious]

Oh? Is something the matter?

[ Aside from getting punched in the face. ]

If the classes can help, then I'm happy to discuss them with you.

[pffft]

Combination puts a strain on the joints, and much of it was required for a mission to Earth.

[yeah he's a combiner now??]

....and I suppose.... it would do good to try other activities, since my duties are lighter here on the R2.

[fastandcurious]

Oh, huh. Was wondering why you bulked up.

[ Not that he was looking. He's married, thanks. ]

I think it'd be good for you to do that. Ratchet's suggestion, I bet.

[pffft]

[PUZZLED. Was that a compliment?? he doesn't know how to react to that. just play it cool.]

...Yes. Both of them, actually. They speak rather highly of you.

And, well, Ratchet knows better than anyone that... relaxing [hngh] is a difficult habit to build.

[fastandcurious]

It's hard to get used to. I understand. It took me a while to get used to it, too.

[ Some small tone of understanding creeps into his voice. ]

[pffft]

I don’t recall ever not having at least a few dozen racing thoughts bouncing around in here. It’s my job.

[ vaguely gestures at his head. He’s never been relaxed, head empty in his entire life. ]

If some kind of… “mindfulness exercise” might help… I will be willing to try it.

[fastandcurious]

Ah, yeah. It sounds like clearing your mind of some of those thoughts might be good for you.

We can even do a few private meditations together, if you'd rather not be around too many people at first.

[pffft]

Hm. That is a sound idea. The less distractions the better.

[fastandcurious]

Exactly. Just let me know when you want to give it a try and I'll make the time.
