In and out, in and out, like that. Just follow the rhythm, you can do it.
I'm going to try something else, okay? Just - trust me, and keep focusing on your breathing, and it should help quiet things down.
[ first of all, he will let himself focus on that tingling feeling, that ticklish, light presence that he instinctively knows is a Blessing brushing against him, and... carefully, pull on his own Blessing to snuff it out, to muffle it like a blanket dropping over a bird cage. Normally, he'd stop at turning off how it affects him - normally, he can't do anything else, but. But Phoenix is on the edge of panic and Forte is in pain and something is up, so he stretches the blanket out, frowning in concentration, pushing his limits to make everything quiet for Phoenix's Blessing. Ideally, silent, but at least quieter. ]
