As usual, Bellamy slept little. He spent the majority of the day before trying to remember patience and considering how to be better at the notion of meditation. He knew how to be quiet and still, he knew how to keep calm under pressure. But ever since arriving on Earth back home, it had been difficult to drown out the calamity around him and find any sort of peace. But he tried to remember. He sat in his house that the Naboo provided and he tried. At night, sleep was elusive. It was difficult to stay with his thoughts and it was difficult to sleep because nightmares were so quick to grab hold. But he wanted to be well-rested so he didn't fight when his weariness finally overcame him. Even with the few hours he managed to snag, Bellamy was still up before dawn, fully dressed and waiting for the coordinates Glasya promised.
The idea of telling Clarke where he was going crossed his mind. A quick note to Clarke and Raven both, a heads up that he wouldn't be immediately within reach. But he dismissed it as easily as it occurred to him. There had been plenty of times when he wanted to talk to Clarke about what was happening around Arkadia and she'd been gone. If she needed him, she could be the one to wait for once. He couldn't afford to mess this up by toeing the line. So he sat and while he waited, he tried to work on slow and steady breathing as a way to focus. He needed a clear mindset for what he wanted, that was what Glasya had said. What did he want? That was a loaded question. Power. The ability to wield whatever he had at his disposal to keep the people he loved safe. To keep them from being the perpetual victims their own world made of them. He didn't know what that would mean for training, but he was eager to learn.
When he finally received the coordinates, Bellamy wasted no time making his way to the appropriate hangar. As he arrived, for once, Bellamy thought of no one except himself and his excitement to learn whatever it was Glasya wished to teach him.
