Sam. Have you been weathering this...event well?

Depends on your definition of weather.

[Private]

[with_discipline]

Are you all right?

Re: [Private]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

Tired, but alright. Keeping a close eye on my body.

How're you?

Re: [Private]

[with_discipline]

Whose body are you in?

Well enough.

Re: [Private]

This girl Hayley. She hangs out with Dean a lot. We really don't get along and since she's not allowed outside Dean's room, things are getting a little stir-crazy.

Enough?

Re: [Private]

[with_discipline]

I'm not familiar with her. Have you been resigned to his room as well?

Yes. It has taken some time, dealing with human emotions.

Re: [Private]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to risk her leaving, so yeah, I'm stuck here until things get sorted out.

How was that?

Re: [Private]

[with_discipline]

That is unfortunate. If there is anything I can bring you, let me know.

...Interesting. Exhilarating, in some ways.

Re: [Private]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

If you have anything that could help me sleep, I'd really, really appreciate it.

In a good way or a bad way?

Re: [Private]

[with_discipline]

Doctor McCoy would be better able to address that; all I have to offer is meditation. You may find it helpful. Why are you having difficulty?

I've yet to decide.

Re: [Private]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

It's just the usual nightmares but I guess being under stress just makes them worse. Do you have any booze?

Fair enough. It's your first time, right? With emotions?

Re: [Private]

[with_discipline]

No. I do not drink. Meditation can help with dreams, however.

In this manner, yes.

Re: [Private]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

See, normally, not thinking about them helps. Meditating on them just seems like a bad idea to me.

In this manner?

Re: [Private]

[with_discipline]

That is not the purpose of meditating at all.

Without risking being overwhelmed by them.

Re: [Private]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

Alright. So what is then?

Oh, okay. Gotcha.

Re: [Private]

[with_discipline]

To clear your mind. I do not sleep without meditating; but I do not dream.

Re: [Private]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

Dreamless? That sounds really good right now.

Re: [Private]

[with_discipline]

If you would like, I can teach you. I've been guiding Doctor McCoy through the process.

Re: [Private]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

That'd be really great. As soon as I get a chance to leave this room, I'll let you know.

Does it really work?

Re: [Private]

[with_discipline]

It works for me. There are Vulcan methods of mental relaxation that have proven helpful for humans.

Re: [Private]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

And they help keep off nightmares?

Re: [Private]

[with_discipline]

It is most likely.

Re: [Private]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

Then I'll take you up on that offer. Maybe tomorrow sometime?

Re: [Private]

[with_discipline]

That would be welcome.

Re: [Private]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'll talk to you then.
