The offer makes him pause in his movements--he looks like he's thinking about it. Normally he doesn't interrupt his own routines, but... this time, he nods, and sheathes his sword.]
Yes.
[It's not like he isn't used to doing it alone, but it's kind of nice to do it with someone else too--familiar, in a way. Kanda can't afford to trust strangers even here, especially not with a killer on the loose, but... he can afford this much, for a little while.]
but yes, she thinks a moment to be quiet, to be totally still (but not totally alone), could do them some good. her heart feels quite clouded by the weekends' events. she doesn't know how well she could fight, if she needed to.
at least, they have this much reprieve. they could easily be turned on each other in a few days, but aqua doesn't wish to think like that. she won't let her decisions be dictated by fear and unease.
so, meditation it is. she'll maybe sit just a little closer to him than usual, since it is affection week. but not so much to disturb him, or to let herself get distracted. that would defeat the purpose of the exercise. ]
[Meditation it is!! He puts his sword, and he'll even take his coat off for once; though he leaves his long gloves on, she can see a hint of some partially covered gnarly marks on his arms. He doesn't pay them any mind as he settles down to sit, folding his legs and resting his hands in place. He tenses slightly when she gets closer than normal, but he doesn't move away--whether that's from trust (kind of) or affection week is a mystery.
He's happy to meditate quietly, probably for as long as she wants to since he can do this for like. Hours.]
[ she will notice the marks, but doesn't ask any questions just yet because now is not the time for speaking...
she sits similarly, letting the tension ease from her shoulders and the rest of her body. eyes closed. (maybe the darkness should make her uncomfortable, but with a friend nearby, it doesn't. sorry kanda she has assigned you a friend whether you agree or not.)
...and yeah, honestly. an hour probably does go by before she speaks again. ]
But it really is nice, entering that trance and being able to block out the noise and the stress of everything they're dealing with. It isn't exactly easy for Kanda to find peace, so these snatches of it matter more than he'll let on.
It means he's in a mellow enough mood to not shut down the question instantly; he opens his eyes and looks down at his arms.]
...Innocence. [As if this answers anything at all, but he kind of assumes Lavi's chatted with most people if Kanda hasn't told them already, so.]
