[Vanguard] Book 1 - Chapter 5: Tyresia, Town of the Dead

     "Oh Jarsy, you really knows how to treat a girl. Don't worry, I know it's all just business."  Replied Yuki as she took the offered potions. "Don't go getting yourself killed out there tiger. It's so hard to find like minded people out there."

Day 4 - Late Afternoon

"There's a map of town in my study." The mayor replied. "But it's too dangerous to go out right now. Usually, it takes them a few hours to disperse a bit, but you still don't want to get caught, otherwise they'll all come rushing in here. If you want to venture in the building, wait a few hours at least. I spend most of my time sleeping to conserve energy, unless there's anything pressing, I suggest you all do the same, and let me sleep this nightmare off."

"Oh, and I'm not sharing my bed, there's only room for maybe two." He said offhandedly. The mayor began to move the heavy chest that contained most of the town's wealth towards his bed, and having his pillow right next to it.

Let me know what you guys do. It's already Late Afternoon. Also think about what you may have on your person, due to being separate from your wagon currently.

"I hope sis is doing all right with the wagon," Taiga said as he sat down on the floor. If they were going to have to wait here a while this was as good a chance as any to practice his meditation and sharpen his senses. Finding a quiet corner he began to go through his various forms silently to slow his breathing and open his mind. Doing as Garron taught him to open his senses to the world around him.

He allowed his body to go an autopilot as his consciousness sunk into the recesses of his mind.

Open palm strick, inhale, circle leg sweep, exhale.

As his body went through his stances he focused all his attention on his senses. The smell of the basement around him, the taste of the stale air, the sensation of his callous skin, and the sound of his companion's breathing. Pushing his senses further outside of himself he tried to sense past the others breathing and their small movements to focus on the important things like their heartbeat. He tried to sink his heartbeat with theirs attempting to stretch out his aura beyond himself as his master had shown him.

High kick flurry, inhale, Claw jab, exhale.

It was hard work and he wasn't sure he really grasped the finer details yet but if he wanted to not get caught off guard this may be his best option. Focusing his energy as best he could he took his time honing his focus trying to get a sense of not only his friends but also the sick outside the door.

Taiga will meditate like this till the middle of the night.
