"Exactly. In truth, it is a given that it will be different. I know of almost nobody with power who didn't feel them altered on some level." Unless the powers were almost inconsequential and even then sometimes. "You can live a different state while you are here, and perhaps it will help in the long run.

Her hand reached over and patted the back of his, smiling at him quietly. "But it is alright to be a little nervous. Control is not easy. Do you have meditation practices by chance?"

It's still so strange to think that he's someone with power, now. But it's true... he came to this place as a person with powers, someone who was no longer an ordinary human. And while all of them have been changed here (can any of them even be called human now?), Peter's changes may be reflective of that power he had before. Altered, like she says now.

He doesn't know what that might ultimately mean. But he can't pretend it's not there.

The touch to his hand is small and gentle and needed, and he gives a watery little smile back. "I've been learning some — but I'm not that great at it yet." Meditation, yoga; John's taught him some things there, but Peter's.... not exactly the best at working with his mind rather than against it.

"Do you know some good ones? I'll take all the help I can get." Maybe that's the first step to controlling his own power. Reaching out for help.

"So, being brutally honest? I was terrible at meditation back home." She could admit that after three years. "I had to pick up yoga like I picked up a gun. A learned practice, once I came here. I sort of had my own way of focusing and destressing." She meant drinking. She drank a lot. It wasn't as helpful as she used to think it was, obviously.

"I have enough familiarity with Yoga to teach you. there were books in the libraries and I practiced a lot during the nightmare. It can help."

"Yeah, I always thought stuff like that was as simple as sitting and being quiet for a while, but... there's an actual process to it." Peter nods, understanding what she means as a learned practice. "My dad was a psychiatrist so he had some techniques, but... I never learned any of them myself."

Mental wellness was something his father helped other people with, but was not exactly a feature within the Graham Family walls.

"I'd really appreciate that. I uh... have the feeling this place is going to keep throwing curveballs at us. Especially with all the blood stuff going on.

...Thank you. For everything."

"Just sitting in silence does help, but like you've gathered, there's a process to it that can make it much more helpful." She listened to the mention of his father and sighed. "A pity. We've never really had a lot of psychiatrists here, so their techniques aren't really available. But meditation is a good start. As you can clearly guess? There will be plenty of curve balls."

"And you're quite welcome. I'm happy to help." She honestly liked feeling helpful.
