Really? Raydiehl thinks curiously to Numi, before her ears snap forward in Atumi's direction, as he begins reciting the plan for their next lesson. The lithe black settling down into the rough dirty of the ground. Slightly worried about Atumi's leaving, Ray determines that she'll attempt to focus on the lesson. Swooshing her tail into such a position so that it cups the right side of her frame, Ray begins by lowering black lids. Waiting for the sounds to come, the black femme represses a series of fidgets, until her muscles can become still without effort. Then, mentally placing her other senses out of her mind's reach, Raydiehl simply focuses on her Koratian ears.

The first thing she picks up is her own heartbeat; the steady, slow ba-dum as it pushes blood through her system. Tracing the sounds outward, she comes to the scratching of some small animal's claws against a boulder. Next, she returns to herself, and ends with her own rhythmic breathing. Eyelids fluttering open, Raydiehl shuts down her ears, and pays attention with her eyes. Prepared for a routine exercise, because one sees all the time, Raydiehl is caught pleasantly by surprise as she focuses on the area around her. Different shadows, different patterns of the simple dirt on the ground emerge. Reds appear subtly in the glow of a lichen-covered rock, while subtle gold glints off as the sun hits the surface of the rocks.

Satisfied, Raydiehl approaches the sense of smell. Picking up the individual scents of those around her - Numi in particular, sinse she's more familiar, thanks to the mindlink exercises. Acquiring the scents of Arukit and Phoemrut, she tries to catch Tasiri's scent as well, before moving on (forgive me if I forgot anyone there...^^;). Tasting the wind, integrating her sense of smell, Ray "tastes" the unusual odors, before her player hurries on to touch. Feeling the air currents circulating, and the ground beneath her paws, Raydiehl relapses into this sense quietly, waiting for Tasiri to tell them when to stop.
