Breathe in.

Take some deep breaths.

There now. Breathe deep.

That's right. Now, deeper.

I can't breathe.

And grasshoppers have a different kind of breathing system.

My breath is down to three breaths a minute.

Then you will feel the flavor.

Breathe naturally and normally, but just a little bit deeper than you normally would.

It'll help my breathing. It'll do something for my pulse, maybe.

Minutes pass, with no one to count my breaths, no jailor, no whip to lacerate the life out of me.

We'll wait here.
