Xandor & Milaha
Milaha
Hey Xandor, I’ve been wondering how a disciplined warrior like you stays calm and focused—do you have any habits that help keep your mind steady during tough missions?
Xandor
I keep my mind steady by starting each shift with a brief breathing exercise, then moving straight into training until the muscles remember their purpose. After that, I review the mission plan, noting the key objectives and potential obstacles. During the operation, I focus only on the present action, letting the past and future slip away. That routine of movement, breath, and mental rehearsal keeps my thoughts clear and my decisions sharp.
Milaha
That sounds like such a powerful way to center yourself, Xandor. Breathing first, then letting the body move and your mind follow—it's like training both body and soul at once. I can only imagine how calm that must feel in the midst of chaos. How does it feel after a long day of fighting, when the adrenaline finally starts to ebb?
Xandor
After the adrenaline fades I feel a deep, steady calm. I sit quietly, let my breathing slow, and let the body relax. I reflect on what went well and what can be improved. That quiet time makes me feel ready for the next challenge, even when the rest of the crew is still buzzing.
Milaha
That calm sounds like a beautiful anchor, Xandor. I admire how you let the breath slow everything down, turning the rush into a quiet moment of clarity. Do you ever share that routine with the crew? It might help them find a little pause when the buzz gets too loud.
Xandor
I do share it when it’s needed. After a hard battle, I’ll gather the crew, explain the breathing steps, and let them practice together. It helps them reset and focus before the next move.
