[Law nods and closes his eyes. He doesn't think he'll get back to sleep, but there's always meditation. He needs it.
Down, down, past the sense of his breathing, down past the beat of his heart... down the ladder past the still places... down down...
... to where he can sense and touch the flow of his own chi... and down past it...
... to where he can sense a larger web of chi around him... barely tangible... and it feels like the universe is breathing... and he anchors before spreading himself out... listens and focuses on life...
[Action/December 20/morning]
Down, down, past the sense of his breathing, down past the beat of his heart... down the ladder past the still places... down down...
... to where he can sense and touch the flow of his own chi... and down past it...
... to where he can sense a larger web of chi around him... barely tangible... and it feels like the universe is breathing... and he anchors before spreading himself out... listens and focuses on life...
... and tries to touch peace...
... he'll open his eyes once Itachi re-enters.]
