Ugh...

Shamir

What's wrong with you?
link
Raphael
volume_up

Huh?! Uh, Shamir? How long have you been there?
link
Shamir
volume_up

Too long. You're blocking my way.
link
Raphael
volume_up

W-wait! There's something I wanted to ask you.
link
Shamir
volume_up

Ask? I...just make it quick.
link
Raphael
volume_up

Well, you see, wherever I go into battle, the enemy seems to find me right away.
link
Raphael
volume_up

I'm an easy target, but I wanna be able to move around the battlefield without being noticed, like you do!
link
Raphael
volume_up

So whaddya think? Would it be possible?
link
Shamir
volume_up

Do you think you're being noticed because of your size?
link
Raphael
volume_up

Of course! I'm pretty hard to miss, you know? I thought that was obvious.
link
Shamir
volume_up

Wrong. It's not your size, it's your presence. It's strong. Almost unbearably so.
link
Raphael
volume_up

My "presence"? Is that something I can change?
link
Shamir
volume_up

With practice. Maybe. Let me ask you, have you ever felt my presence?
link
Raphael
volume_up

Now that I think about it, I haven't! That must be why I didn't notice you earlier.
link
Raphael
volume_up

But how can I do that? Will you teach me? Please? Please!
link
Shamir
volume_up

Fine. There's a breathing technique that masks your presence.
link
Shamir
volume_up

When you breathe, are you continuously inhaling, then exhaling?
link
Raphael
volume_up

Well, of course. That's the best way I know how. I'd explode if I only breathed in!
link
Shamir
volume_up

Right. To minimize your presence, breathe in, then out, then out again. In through the nose, then gently out through the mouth, twice.
link
Raphael
volume_up

In-out-out? That's it? I can definitely do that!
link
Raphael
volume_up

I-I couldn't do it, Shamir!
link
Shamir
volume_up

Breathe less. Keep it to the absolute minimum.
link
Raphael
volume_up

I don't know the minimum!
link
Shamir
volume_up

It'll take some practice.
link
Raphael
volume_up

Sure, sure. I'll keep trying. In-out-out is trickier than it sounds...
