Beverly does trust the crew of this ship, but she also knows that if it really came down to it, she could probably manage to stave off an attack even if she was in a full state of meditation. Then again, she isn't quite the fighter that a lot of people are, even after her adventures in Zelien. Annie might be one of those who could use that meditative state to heighten her awareness of everything around her without tensing up. It's another thought to offer.

"A little yes," she agrees, tilting her head a little as she considers how to explain. "It clears my mind so that if I need to, I could concentrate on something else a little easier. It's supposed to make fighting and combat easier, more natural. You learn the steps of it and eventually, each movement comes easier and easier until you don't have to think about them. You just do. It gives my mind something to focus on, my body something to do, so that I don't have to think about whatever is bothering me. I can just... breathe."
