Terra rises on Lapis' head until he's level with Medicham. He stares at Medicham in peaceful silence for about five minutes. Medicham does not even open its eyes in this time. Terra, you recognize from the Pokemon's slowly changing poses (mostly in the fingers and wrists and posture) that Medicham is performing a slow and strict ritual of meditation. It's similar to something you might have learned as a monk, or anyone meditative from your homeland, but this specific ritual is not one humans ever learn. It has a very positive and familiar energy to you.

(Now that's something I didn't know could be done with Lapis! Looks like I can add 'Overly Large and Living Step Ladder to the things he can do, right besides swimming, battling, Preforming, and being good company!)

For a short time, Terra continues to observe Medicham conduct its mediation in silence, looking and feeling curious, studious, and at peace as he studied their form. It reminded him heavily of the relaxation techniques and stances that Shiranui taught him long ago in all but casualness and finer details, and just seeing it was a balm to his soul after seeing......one of them. Unfortunately, merely thinking about those fiends started to rile him up again, forcing the sagely monk to calm himself the best he could

'No....don't think of it. Not in danger.....can't harm me. Won't harm me. Relax. Deep breath in....out. In....out. Ah......'

Then, just as he heaved his second breath and found it wasn't doing much in the way of settling his nerves, he had a flash of Insight: Why not practice/learn the style of meditation that Medicham was doing? Judging from how at peace they were and the vibes he was getting, it seemed to be working great for them, so maybe it would do the same for him too? That, and it would be a good way as any to get to know the psychic monk without rudely interupting them.

So with that in mind, he did his best to mimic their poses and motions, drawing upon his old Performer habits and honed Alertness to follow along the best he could. All the while they was doing this, Lovely Lapis Lazuli gave his own effort in soothing them by trilling/humming a soothing, melodic tune to enhance both their and Medicham's meditations. He knew that they were.....Skittish when it came to Sableyes and why, and so did his best to share some of his own tranquility with them.  It wasn't the first time he done as such, and it probably wouldn't be the last either.

Order: Try to use meditation to both bring peace of mind/good feelings to Terra while also doing so in an attempt to connect to Medicham in the least disruptive manner possible, with Lovely quietly 'singing' along! As Zenyatta would say: 'Peace be with you.'
