Thanks, um. I've got a friend who's teaching me some meditation stuff to help, um, stop the accidental vibes. from happening.
[ It's not the same as saying they get triggered by negative emotions, but considering all the pointed questions he'd asked about that sort of thing before, and the fact that it's meditation he's learning... the leap isn't a big one. Still, despite the fact that Cisco's still a little unsure about him, there's probably things John could help with that Genji just couldn't. Teaching him how to deal with uncontrollable fear is one thing. But learning how to use his powers - how to make them into tools - that's a whole other matter. ]
But... I'm kinda on my own for the rest of it. I've just sort of been trying to learn on my own. Not a whole lot he or anybody else can do to help with visions when they've never had them, you know? So, um. Yeah. Maybe. If you really don't mind?
[ It makes it easier to ask for that help, knowing that he can provide some of his own - even if it only comes in the form of date ideas. ]
Well, some of it depends on what sort of stuff she's into. You can try a bunch of new stuff together, you know? Kind of experimenting, seeing what you like and what you don't.
[ From the sound of what John and Clarice had both told him, neither of them had had a lot of leisure time, a lot of time to themselves feeling safe and able to go out and about without being bothered. It's possible neither of them have any clue the sort of things they would enjoy, if they gave it a chance. ]
Stargazing's good. Picnics, on a day when the weather is good. There's a couple of great hot springs and spas in town - but if you do that, you gotta go too, and don't get all macho and scared of getting into it along with her.
[ Cisco says all of that with a gentle tone of teasing - he doesn't know if John's the sort of guy who would balk at that kind of thing, but it's worth giving the warning just in case. ]
You could come up with a whole bracket system for the restaurants around town, like do a whole March Madness thing but for grub, decide on your favorite place together.
