Khura'in-Justice Law Offices

In order to alleviate some of the stress of essentially rebuilding an entire legal system from scratch, Apollo Justice and Nahyuta Sahdmadhi agreed that they could use a day off to recharge their batteries. Well, Apollo suggested they could use a day off and, after much deliberation (they are lawyers, after all), Nahyuta came around and consented to a day of relaxation as well. It was a nice and sunny day in the kingdom of Khura'in, so Apollo joined Ahlbi and Datz in hanging out and enjoying what the country had to offer. It had been quite some time since the last time the young attorney got to just enjoy his former home, so it was quite a treat to be able to see the sights and taste the cultural delicacies that could only be found there. The three also stopped by the bazaar to pick up some things they could use to decorate the Justice Law Offices. The office, since décor was the last thing on their minds at the moment, certainly could use some sprucing up, Apollo considered.

As the sun began to set, Apollo parted ways with Ahlbi and Datz, planning to return to the law offices to drop of his purchases before heading to his apartment for the night to catch the latest episode of the Plumed Punisher. Arriving at the door, Apollo fumbled around in his pockets for a moment to find his keys. Once he located them, he opened the door and headed inside the office.

The only light inside came from some candles that had been placed on the coffee table in the middle of the office between the two couches, indicating that Nahyuta was probably somewhere around. Glancing around the room, Apollo eventually found his monk partner. The red-clad attorney was taken aback by Nahyuta's current activity, making a similar face to the one he did in court when Klavier oh-so-elegantly bested his argument.

"Nahyuta!" Apollo gasped. "What are you doing?"

With a undoubtedly serene face, the lavender haired monk was seemingly in a deep meditation, though he looked like he was playing the game Twister...and losing. Or winning. Apollo wasn't quite sure. Legs back behind his head and his torso weirdly contorted through the middle, Nahyuta had his hands folded and twisted together. Apollo's back hurt just looking at his cohort's extreme position.

"Based on my position," Nahyuta began to reply, keeping his emerald green eyes shielded behind his closed eyelids. "It should be obvious to you, Apollo, that I am meditating."

Apollo cautiously stepped forward toward the coffee table and placed his bag of goodies down upon it. He cocked his head to the side as he watched Nahyuta with some interest.
"Meditating? Did you actually spend the whole day meditating in the office?" Apollo questioned.

"Perhaps. Why does that shock you?"

"Well..." Apollo let out a nervous laugh. "I guess that's just not my idea of fun, is all..."

Nahyuta opened one eye to look at his friend.

"Have you ever tried meditation?" he questioned, though he already knew the answer.

"Well, no."

"You should give it a try, Apollo,"

Apollo stuffed his hands in his pockets and gave Nahyuta a little shrug.

"I don't know, Nahyuta," he said. "I'm not entirely that flexible..."

"Nonsense," Nahyuta replied. "Even the lowliest of monks can achieve such body control with proper training."

"But I'm not even a monk..."

Nahyuta did not reply, instead simply opening his other eye and looking at Apollo. The latter sighed.

"I guess it won't hurt to at least try, huh?" he said. "They do say monkey see, monkey do, right?"

"Just because I am a monk, it does not mean that I am a 'monk'-ey."

"Sorry, Nahuyta. I couldn't help myself."

Apollo headed over to where Nahuyta was seated on the ground and took a seat next to him.

"Now, to begin-" Nahuyta began to say.

He planned to instruct Apollo on how to obtain a simple pose so that he try meditating without having to delve into some of the more advanced meditation poses. Apollo, however, with his headstrong nature, already commenced trying to copy the very contorted pose Nahyuta was in. With some minoring grunting and groaning as Apollo tried to get his legs up behind his head, the room was otherwise quiet as Nahyuta watched in amusement.

POP!

"Nahyuta?" Apollo's voice squeaked out.

"Yes?" Nahyuta replied.

"I...I think I'm stuck..."

"Yes, it does appear so."

"I...I'm hurt real bad..."

"I'm not surprised."

"I...I think I need a doctor."

"Yes, it would seem like it."

Gracefully unwinding himself, Nahyuta rose from his spot and headed toward the door. He paused, discreetly glancing back over at Apollo and the odd position he was stuck in. A small smirk appeared on his lips and he let out a little chuckle before heading out the door.
