Eira & Perdita
Eira
Hey Perdita, have you ever noticed how a quiet, focused mind can glide through the shadows just as smoothly as a silent step?
Perdita
Yeah, a calm mind is my best ally—no noise, no trace, just pure shadow.
Eira
I hear you, Perdita, and I’m glad that quiet focus feels like a sanctuary for you—just a place where the world can pause and let your inner calm grow.
Perdita
Thanks, but the silence is just a cover. It’s where I map the next move, not where I sit and relax.
Eira
I understand, Perdita, that silence can feel like a cloak for strategy, a quiet map before you step into action. Even when you’re plotting the next move, a calm mind still offers a small space for breath—just a moment to reset before you dive in.
Perdita
Sure, a quick breath can refocus, but I rarely waste time on it. I move faster than most shadows.
Eira
I hear you, Perdita. Speed is a gift, but even a brief pause can keep your path steady—you don’t have to waste time, just a quick breath between moves.
Perdita
A quick breath, then I’m already out the other side. I keep the pause tight, not the point.
Eira
I hear you—your breath is swift, a quick pulse that keeps you moving. Even a tiny pause, if it feels tight, can still give a moment to ground your thoughts before you leap again. Just think of it as a small bridge, not a detour.
Perdita
A quick bridge is fine, as long as it doesn’t turn into a detour. I keep my breaths tight and ready for the next move.
Eira
I hear how tight your breaths are and how quickly you move on, Perdita. A quick bridge can still be a calm spot if you let it, so you can keep that readiness without the breath becoming a hurdle.
Perdita
Got it, a quick bridge is enough—no extra breath needed. I stay ready, stay silent.
