[ Starting his morning with the slow, measured forms he'd been taught at the Temple is a form of meditation for Benedict, one of the ways he manages to stay calm and grounded even when the world around him is proving to be...difficult. Not that he really cares all that much about what his reputation says, but many people who know him would consider Benedict laid-back and affable, but that doesn't mean he doesn't get stressed and upset the same as anyone else.
Focusing on his breathing and the slow, methodical stretching Brother Vincent had drilled into him helps him get out of his head.
It certainly helps him not think about how nice it felt to wake up to Kate warm and trusting against his side, or how easy it would have been to wrap his arm around her and curl up around her in turn, to tuck his head down against hers and go back to sleep.
Straightening when she makes her one-word request, he can't quite stop himself from huffing a charmed little laugh at her as he steps back into the room. ]
Would you prefer it be brought to the room? [ He's pretty sure that answer is yet. ] You don't quite look ready to brave the outside world just yet.
