Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Monday

Cable wasn't entirely sure who'd mailed him the leaflet, but as far as information went, it was pretty... rudimentary. Not that he couldn't appreciate jokes, mind. They were just better if they were played on someone else.

Like his employees. He left it in the upper drawer of the desk for them to find.

He put the baby in the crib, then spent about half an hour theorising on whether it'd been a joke, a warning, a threat, or all of the above.

Or maybe a mismailing.

Who has probably stopped being paranoid about this thing by now.

Worf entered Wellspring with a nod of greeting to the owner.

"Good day. Is the medidtation room available?" He asked adjusting his pants slightly at the waist.

"Good morning, Worf," Cable answered. It was pretty much automatic, at this point. "The room's clear."

"Thank you, sir," he replied and hesitated a moment before entering the room.

"Sir. If I might ask a question?"

Cable looked up again, paused, and said, "Yes?"

"While I appreciate the use of your facilities," Worf began, "There is a point where I feel compensation is in order. Is there a way for me to work out some kind of payment for you?"

"Worf," Cable said, with a certain seriousness, "'Compensation' means very little to me. Meditation is a method of focus-- a way of achieving peace. Within, without. Even if it's used in preparation for battle. I'm grateful for anyone who shows more interest in that than the other contents of this store."

Except if there was, like, a war on. Then the guns would be kind of useful.

"I understand," Worf said seriously. "However the use of your facilities leaves me indebted to you. That is something I do not take lightly."

That was interesting to know.

"No debts," Cable said, frankly. "Although I'm interested in what's behind your mok'bara."

"It is a Klingon form of martial arts," Worf replied. "It's forms can be used for meditation and help clear and focus the mind. It is also the basis for several Klingon hand-to-hand combat techniques and can include several weapons. It is somewhat similar to what humans call tai chi chuan."

"I'm taking it war is a part of your culture."

A meditation technique that could also be used as a form of combat; in a way, it was a lot like his own people, back in the day. Interesting, if a little worrying. But then alternative worlds tended to do that. Each different in its own way....

"My people are warriors by nature," Worf replied with a nod. "We follow a strict code of honor, loyalty and duty. Not unlike the ancient Samurai in your world. Though we do tend to be somewhat... aggressive in nature."

Which is the ideal of saying but Worf tends to be some what blind when it comes to Klingon culture.

'Somewhat... aggressive'. He knew that pause.

"I can't find fault with a code like that," Cable replied-- and he really couldn't. "But a civilisation built on violence isn't ideal." He studied Worf, for a moment. "So how are you adjusting to human culture?"

"I was raised by humans," Worf said rather stiffly. "However I have embraced the Klingon way of life. I find most of the adjustment here to be from being from a different time period. At least where I'm from people are aware of Klingons and their... idiosyncrasies."

Different time period. Radio had been right; they really did need a bingo card for this. "Any idiosyncracies I should be worried about?" It came out more curious than anything else.

"Considering this Earth's history, I doubt my people even exist here," Worf replied. "So for the moment there is only me, and I wish only to finish my schoolwork here and return to my time period."

Another moment's consideration of Worf; the island had a habit of prompting you to think in different directions. Fifth dimensions.

He was getting metaphysical again. "No debts, Worf," he said again, after a moment. "And good luck on the island."

"Thank you, sir," he replied and entered the meditation room.

Mod your meditation, or talk to Cable for help, first.

Worf went through his usual routine with a bit of awkwardness in his movements today.

Not that he'd ever admit that. Or the reason why.

Only accessible with Cable's permission.

This entire post is all

stocksgrrl's fault.

I shouldn't have looked at that leaflet while drinking soda. :D
