Tabbi's POV

I took in every word that Smoke wrote in that small notebook. Being able to read his handwriting was a usually useless skill, but it came in really handy here, obviously. I couldn't help but shed a few tears at the poetry, it really was beautiful. He didn't give himself enough credit for how good at writing he really was.

I had read through almost the whole thing when Kuai came by to check back in on me.

"Feeling a little better?" Kuai asked, as he walked into my room.

"Yeah, a little bit. Kuai, I miss him so much. I wish I could tell him how much I love this," I sighed, as I closed the notebook. "I wanna tell all of them I miss them,"

"I know," Kuai nodded. "It will be okay, Tabbi. I'm sure, wherever the real Smoke is. He knows you love it,"

I could tell that Kuai was really trying his hardest to comfort me.

"Am I stretching too far if I ask you for a hug?" I questioned, tilting my head.

"I...I'm not really one for-" I cut Kuai off by standing up, and giving him a hug anyway. "-hugs..." He finished. He reluctantly hugged me back.

"I'm really glad you're here, Kuai. I don't know what I'd do if I had to go through this alone,"

"I would not let you go through this alone," Kuai pulled away as fast as he could. "I'm going back to bed now. I just wanted to see if you were doing okay,"

"Is it okay if you stay in here with me?"

Kuai hesitated. "If you will feel safer with me in here, I suppose I can,"

"Thank you,"

Kuai nodded. "Anything that I can do to help,"

"If you want, I could sleep on the floor, so you'll be comfortable,"

"No, Tabbi. This is your room. It's your bed. You sleep up there. I'll be fine down here,"

Kuai sat down on the floor, cross legged.

"Are you going to meditate?"

"Yes. And it would be a lot easier if you would stop talking," Kuai replied.

I reached onto my nightstand and pulled out Smoke's poetry again.

"Tabbi, your page turning is loud," Kuai complained.

"Well I'm sorry I'm not Kenshi, I can't move the pages with my mind,"

"It still would not be silent even if you were Kenshi. Just because you would be able to move the page with your mind does not mean I wouldn't hear it,"

I shook my head, and put the book back down on my nightstand.

"Hey, Kuai?"

"What now?" Kuai asked with a sigh.

"Can you teach me how to meditate?"
