[Heβll have to take his word for it β but admittedly, beyond giving each other shades of sarcastic grief, Stephenβs first impressions about an individual are often correct, or so he believes. Thancred seems to have a good head on his shoulders, paired with an innate desire to fill the voids in his knowledge. Generally, a favorable combination.
Stephen straightens, recalling the times when he was the one new to mediation. How the other sorcerers, more advanced than him (everyone was more advanced than him, back then) would have to speak plainly during their bouts of guided meditation to avoid a prodding, questioning remark from the stubborn neurosurgeon.
Finding himself on the other side of the equation is odd β often, he leaves such lessons to those more suited to it. Or Wong.]
Ever meditated before? Close your eyes and relax.
[A beat. Thenβ]
Should warn you about one thing, though.
[Telling someone to relax, followed by a warning, describes just how often Stephen takes up a mentoring role: not very often.]
