"A mantra," Klaus repeats, though he wrinkles his nose at the first two. He almost smiles as he thinks back on his time with his cult, when he would feed them song lyrics like they were wise musings. He does regret how he went about the whole thing, but he isn't sure that he would have survived the 60s without those people. And maybe it's bullshit, but he'd like to think that he helped some of them, too. Even if it all went bad there at the end.

Obi-Wan keeps speaking and Klaus likes this better, tilting his head a little as he watches him recite the Jedi Code. Klaus likes the sound of it, because it reflects the balance that exists everywhere. Where there is pain, there is also happiness. Sometimes one may greatly overshadow the other, but they're both always there.

"Passion, yet serenity," Klaus repeats, feeling the words on his tongue as he meets Obi-Wan's gaze and takes a deep breath, trying to match his breathing to Obi-Wan's as he rests his hands on his knees. "I do like that one." Another breath. "Passion, yet serenity."
