Today's session had been dedicated to meditation for the second half of the hour, which had done Vikesh a load of good. He felt more centered and able to deal with the little annoyances in the world, such as yet another student trying to chat him up afterward. Even if he hadn't already been a rather awkward conversationalist, he wouldn't have wanted to continue it very far once he'd ascertained that the woman had little actual interest in what he taught beyond the superficial. Thankfully, she was perceptive enough to get the point and left quickly enough, allowing him to relax and breathe again.
He reached out to grab a bottle of water and took a long pull before reaching down for his shirt, and had just been finding the opening in the material when he was distracted by the voice. He looked up, shirt still in hand, and froze when he saw who was standing there.
Tristan looked changed, that was for certain, but who wouldn't after what he'd been through? Vee offered a friendly smile, something he didn't do often enough.
"Hey," he replied tentatively. It was strange figuring out how to act with someone he hadn't seen in eight or nine years, even if they'd been roommates almost as long. "You're a little late, we just finished some meditation. I was just going to grab a late lunch."
