His fingers start to dig into his throat in a harsh punishing way when he remembers to breath slowly and hold each inhale to the count of three. His hand relaxes and falls away to hang limply at his side. Without realizing he's doing it, he flexes the fingers of his left hand.
He walks to the middle of the small lounge area.] Hinata-kun, come over here. I want to teach you something.
