"Eh...? Takeshi never showed you how to find it...?" Well now that was a little bit of an oversight. Then again Takeshi probably didn't know how to do that anyways, could hardly blame the kid for now knowing. Looking at T'charrl thoughtfully Roshi reached out, placing a hand just below the orb on his chest. Holding himself still he then closed his eyes, concentrating on the alien to try and suss out what his energy was doing. It didn't take long to find what he was looking for, this boy had quite the reserves of power in him. Sure enough there was Ki present, but that wasn't the bulk of it. In fact he wouldn't even say that half of T'charrl's energy was Ki, there was something else in there too. Hm... So that had to be it then, maybe he drew on this other energy before. So if they could somehow get the boy to only draw from one source then his problems should go away. No wonder there was so much difficulty. "Aha... Yes, that makes sense..." Roshi mumbled, taking his hand back and looking up with a smile. "You've got two energies in you my boy, and they're both fighting to get out. If we can manage to get just the Ki then you won't have any problems. Or... Even the other energy too."

Now, the question was whether this other energy behaved in the same way as Ki. Reason told Roshi it should, but they'd have to wait and see. "Tell me something... When you drew energy before, what did it feel like? Can you explain it?" If T'charrl could tell the difference between Ki and his own power than drawing from one source or the other ought to be far simpler. "If you can tell the difference between the energy you used earlier and, say, mine or one of the boys, then using both would be easy. To sense our energy you want to reach out with your own. Imagine a small field around you as your energy and then will it to expand. When your own energy comes in contact with ours you'll feel it, and you can 'sense' our energy." He was willing to bet Takeshi had left out that little bit. It wasn't as simple as just 'feeling' energy, you had to expend some to sense it. 

Maybe the incentive of not blowing his sibling to kingdom come would get Shu to focus more. Or maybe it would just serve to make him more frustrated. Smiling sympathetically Takeshi scratched at his head, wondering how to put it in terms that the younger boy might understand. "Remember what I said earlier? Your Ki is mostly in your chest, right here," he explained, prodding at his own sternum, "You want to try and move it forward. When you find it there imagine it running from your tummy out to your hands, and then hold it there. If it helps move it from your chest to your hand, then back, kind of keep it flowing." He really didn't know how better to explain it other than that, to him it made perfect sense. In his mind he could imagine Ki flowing like water, circling around back and forth, but clearly that wasn't the case with Shu. Chuckling at his question Takeshi pointed to himself with his thumb, "You're learning how not to blast me silly! Though to be serious you're learning how to move Ki. Hm... Maybe something else would help you learn... Come here a second?"

Once Shu was at his side Takeshi turned to the water, squatting down before it. There was a handy little pool right next to him that would work well for this, hopefully his explanation helped Shu a little more. "Okay, so think of this as your body, and the water is your Ki," he began, gesturing to the pool. Dipping a finger in the water he made a quick stroke through it, playfully splashing his sibling a bit. "That's what it's like when you move Ki and just let it go, it'll fly out at you. The trick we're trying to get down is for you to keep that from happening. So instead of pushing it all out..." Again Takeshi stuck his finger in, but this time began moving it slower, creating a small elliptical pattern. "You start from your chest, move it out and bring it back. See how none of the water is splashing out now? Well it's the same with your Ki, if you do this then you can move it without losing any. And when you learn to do that then you can learn to move it and release it how you want." Hopefully that cleared things up a little bit, if not he really was lost as what to do. Smiling at Shu he reached over, tapping his brother's nose with a wet finger, "Think you got it now?"
