"You're not the only one who was surprised, this is very different from the kind of training I'm used to. I'm happy I learned it though, I feel much more grounded lately compared to when I first came here."

While his usual outlets for stress and anxiety weren't unhealthy by nature, constantly pushing himself physically and then exerting himself against the gloom had been taking a toll on him until he'd started down this path. Now he had something he could do that could actually allow him some real respite when he needed it while still allowing him to progress in some manner.

"Without your patience and guidance though, I'd still be very lost right now. So I got something to really say thank you while I was out on the mission."

He smiled and reached into his pocket, pulling out a small, simple looking wooden box. Inside the box, he revealed as he opened it, was a single Red and Yellow Flower that was seemingly being preserved by something inside the box as it hadn't even begun to wilt.

"I saw it after we'd finished the mission and it reminded me immediately of you...so I got this preservation box from a local on the island and picked one for you as a present."
