Ah!

[Lee lifts up his finger in an enthusiastic manner. He did read that part in her file but he's not going to mention it. He's been shot in the head once and woke up in the morgue naked and walked out without really thinking about it. That was a freaky moment in his life he could relate to.]

It sounds like you need to learn meditation!

[ghostling]

Meditation? How's that gonna help?

[She tilts her head and raises a brow. She can't really see how mediation will help keep her from losing control during a fight.]

It's not an easy thing to explain. Every fighter does it, well, at least every good fighter does some sort of meditation. You see, meditation allows you to clear your mind and cleanse your spirit to remain calm. You can use it to focus on past events and learn from your mistakes to overcome your next challenge.

[He walks slowly as he talks about it in a very teacher-like manner.]

It's a method of focus. Martial artists use it to imagine what their opponents would do to predict their battles. It's a balance between peace and chaos, Ying and Yang. You can't have one without the other. Logan is a very good example.

[She listens closely, remaining focused on him the whole time.]

I guess anythin' is worth a try.

[As carefree as Lee seems to be, he's still a focused teacher. He smiles and nods.]

Excellent. We'll meet in the garden tomorrow morning one hour before school and again one hour after school. This way, we can reflect and I can teach you how to recharge your chi. Yes?

[She nods with a small smile.]

Okay.
