==> Jesse: Teach a class (open rp)

"You're welcome!" you yell from where you've landed on the ground.

 

Hand-flapping is probably the wrong thing to do right now but you're so excited because people are talking to you and you know what's going on and you're not confused or alone at all!

 

You pause a moment to flail happily, then continue. Flailflaps are totally the appropriate response.

 

You are trying! Super hard actually! But breathing exercises make you super antsy and also your knees don't do the bendy thing without protest. But when you see Jesse and Em doing the fight aplication example you think this is totally worth it. Jesse doesn't seem to need much strength for these moves at all! It all looks like abusing centers of gravity and your opponent's own force to pull them off balance and really, that sounds very useful for someone like you who already has a low center of gravity due to being tiny.
"This looks really effective!" you muse, going back into your current stance and trying hard to focus on your breathing.
In. Out. In. Out. You wonder if you should send everyone workout clothes. In. You wonder what Calcite's favorite color is. Out. Scheherazade would probably only wear stuff that is black, no matter what you come up with. But jeans don't look like comfortable workout clothes... In. Out.
It is very hard to relax when a part of your brain is determined to be a hyperactive squirrel about it. Also your hairstyle is falling apart. You breathe in. You try your hardest to blow the strands of hair falling into your face up and back. You breathe in.
You make frustrated noises when even more of your hair lands in your eyes.
You pause and try to adjust the mess. This might just not be your day. Or this Tai Chi stuff is not made for people who can't focus on simple things like breathing and stance without immediately thinking of work. And it looked so cool!

 

Yay, melons!

((By the wya are we assuming Cal's been helping Jesse like was suggested in Wes, BiaR?))

 

"Nah, I'm good, stupid hair is just falling out of the scrunchie." You think you have it under control now. Your bun feels tight enough to pull at your scalp. Feels funny.
You briefly consider melons and then you consider sticky hands and politely decline. However there was a thing you wanted to ask Jesse, so you walk up to him and clear your throat politely. "I-is it normal that I can't concentrate at all? Breathing is horrible to think about? My thoughts just keep wandering off."
You mean to take a sip of water, so you look more casual, and promptly spill some on your shirt. "Shit!" you squeak. At least it's warm out and its just water, but. Today seems to just ot be your day.
There has not been a more frustration charged facepalm in the history of the universe, you are pretty sure. Maybe you should go back to sleep.

 

You´re glad when Jesse calls for a break. While the exercise is surely soothing in general, you hope other will involve a little more movement than that, keeping your balance in this position took a lot of work. You acquire some watermelon and sit down close enough to hear Jesse´s question.
"I have some iced tea."

 

"Er...? I don't actually know what my reaction to caffeine is supposed to be, Us-folk don't have coffee normally, we chew some leaf stuff I don't know the intergalactic name of for stimulation. But, like that stuff helped me more get my thoughts on track and coffee does something similar but not quite the same? It kickstarts my brain into working and I get massive headaches without it." You shrug. You're not quite sure you know what Jesse is talking about, brain chemistry stuff being talked cross-species is super hard and you didn't bother with all the words you didn't know, back when you tried figuring some stuff out.
You are kind of jealous of the nanites, they seem so, so useful.

 

"I'm gonna try my best! I should really also see to getting Mel'Zit* shipped here. It smells all nice and tastes really great and makes all your thoughts run in the right direction!" You smile.

(* I am so not sorry, Fae literally chew on mutant alien Lemon Balm by the leaf as a stimulant.)

 

You're doing pretty well, but you're glad for the change in pace. You take a bit of melon and pull out your water bottle and sit down. The melon is sweet and juicy, and a bit runs down your chin when you bite into it. You finish off the melon, and take a swig of your water. Then you pour a bit of water onto your towel and wipe the juice off your face.

You listen thoughtfully to the conversations going on around you.
"Maybe Jesse could grow it you get the plant? Do you think you'd have to import soil for that, Jesse?"

 

"Oh that would be great! I think insects like the plant a lot too, so maybe we could plant it where the bees can find them? Our butterflies loved hanging out around the fields!"
You smile at Soul. You love how people here all try to help you so much, even for tiny things like being not good at concentrating!

 

"The bees will be happy to help!"

 

You´ve finished your piece of water melon, so you clean your hands and get the giant thermos of iced tea and stack of plastic cups you brought.
"Tea anyone?"

 

"That's so nice of you!" you smile at Jesse and Soul.
"Wow, yes, I'd like some tea, thank you, Cody!"
Your cheeks tingle a bit with how much you are smiling and you probably look really goofy, but people are super nice! You like it here so much!
