Re: log: adrian and ren - in the cottage
It was good to have something to do with his hands, so he kept them fixed around his mug. He cast his mind back as Ren talked. He did remember the conversation - and the closet, god. "I remember," he said. "I was. You have a good memory."
He picked up the mug but didn't manage to drink from it, holding it a few short inches from his mouth instead. "I do meditate, sometimes. It helps quiet my mind, and I usually feel better after I do it. I never touch the obscurus, though, I try to just not think about anything." He paused. "I do wonder if maybe that's part of it. If what they say about obscurials is true, it's created when a child suppresses their magic. I think, then...the only way to defuse it might be to draw it out. To try to perform real, productive magic. To get into contact with it." He glanced up, through the steam. "Which could be dangerous."
