Ioan had not heard Spriggan slip into the library over his outburst of emotion. Disgruntled at first, an open look of embarrassment filled his expression as she approached as light as a feather. Peering up at her with wide, orange eyes, he can't hide the downward crease of his lips. Had she witnessed his explosion of emotion? It was unlike Ioan to be so flustered. He tried so hard to be calm and collected, but sometimes, his feelings were just... too much for him. Sniffling quietly, he lifts his head and nods at Spriggan, trying to fight back the well of tears of being caught.

"I've b-been trying r-really hard," he admits softly, looking away from her pretty lavender and blue gaze. "Every t-time I try, it's like my head starts h-hurting and then I get confused and feel so, so helpless and stupid." Ioan's brow furrows again, chin dipping toward his chest as he stares at his paws. Being so young, he had yet to grasp that nothing in life came easy. Practice and dedication would get him far in life, but for now? He only wanted to impress and show that he was capable. A defeated sigh exhales through his parted lips before he rolls his lips inward and forces himself to look up at Spriggan again. Courage was something he needed to try harder to have too.

"Would you m-mind meditating with me?" Ioan asks, his voice nearly as soft as Spriggan's. Maybe she had some good meditating tactics? Or he could show her some that he had learned from his mother? "I think it m-might help my brain reset," he attempts a smile at her, but it doesn't reach his lips. Unsure if he's even doing the right thing, the pup hopes his cousin has some guidance.
