It's okay, I'm getting good at this.

[ it's a little like turning dials around, lowering stress, increasing calm. it's a bit like smoking weed but very immediate. caleb's being very deliberate about it, and very gradual, oli won't feel suddenly calm and cool with everything, it's just enough for him to notice the switch. ]

I can do it suddenly too, like, just shut down stress completely. But it's probably not healthy, and I haven't really looked into drops or anything.
