Gavrick & Seraph
Gavrick
You ever notice how the wind changes with the seasons? It’s like the forest is breathing, and it’s got a way of telling us when we need to lean forward or pull back. I’ve been mapping out the patterns, but I could use someone who knows how to listen when the storm hits. How do you feel the change?
Seraph
I feel it first in my breath, then in the way my shoulders relax or tighten. When the wind is gentle I let my own heart slow, like a leaf drifting in a calm stream. When it picks up, I feel the shift in my chest, the quickening of my pulse, and I remind myself to steady my breath and hold a quiet awareness. It’s like the forest whispers whether to lean forward or pull back, and I try to listen without letting the storm swallow me.

That’s good to hear. I get it the way my own breath ticks up or slows when the wind shifts. The trick I use is to anchor to the ground—feel the weight of my boots, the rhythm of the steps. That way when the air gets a little wild I stay on the same path and the storm just passes. Keeps the mind from running off into the woods.
Seraph
That’s a solid trick. I sometimes just feel the pulse of the earth beneath my feet, like a low drumbeat that keeps me from drifting too far into the wind’s story. It’s a gentle reminder that even when the storm’s loud, you can still walk the path you choose. Keep that rhythm, and the forest will let you know when to pause, when to push on, and when the wind’s just a whisper.
