23rd Proclamation: [Voice/Action]

[It's a classic problem, really. You're trying not to think about a certain issue. Doing everything you can to put it out of your mind. And what happens?

You can't think of anything else.

This is the problem Neliel has been facing for a few days now, and she's gotten to the point where she just can't deal with it on her own anymore. It's worse since the issue is one that's so important to her, but one she can't think of too many people she can talk to about.

Memories.

Settled down in the lobby of the Battle Dome, she finally flips open her journal to ask for suggestions.]

I need a distraction, and the Dome isn't sufficing. Does anyone have suggestions? At this point I'm willing to consider any ideas.

Yeah, it is. I've been through... lot of crummy things. Both back home and during my short time here. Meditation does help me to calm down and liberate myself from these thoughts. And a lot of the time... us airbenders are supposed to be like leaves in the wind, changing direction to match the wind. So I try to keep my head in the present and keep myself distracted from any... bad thoughts. I focus on my friends, having fun and stuff that... doesn't remind me of those thoughts.

[The sudden shift in his mood would be obvious even to a blind person. Nel frowns, feeling a bit guilty that she brought it on.]

I see... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up anything unpleasant.

It's fine, really! If I can keep positive, maybe you can too.
