Roshi didn't know what to tell T'charrl, he'd never had to teach a student in his predicament before. Everyone he'd ever been with had some unique powers, sure, but it had all stemmed from Ki. While the alien's other power did feel like Ki it wasn't, and that puzzled the hermit quite a bit. To have him able to suss out which was which would be no small feat. And this... The notion that T'charrl could use other people's energies. Okay, perhaps that wasn't so strange, he was aware that Ki could be shared to help one another. It stood to reason that if the alien could take Ki then he had to have some himself, as every living thing usually tended to. The big issue was isolating that, and then using that. "Hm... If we can train you enough to use your own energies then you will be independent. And your Ki is a portion of what you've got right now, but that will grow when you train. Everyone starts with a small reserve of energy, even if you're born gifted. It's through hard work and training that you get more power." Chuckling under his breath Roshi folded his hands behind his back, walking around T'charrl as he glanced over the boy. Yes, there were definitely pockets of energy here and there, but it felt scattered almost. It was that other energy, it almost felt like it was someone, or something else's power. Hm... How strange. "T'charrl... Can you use that other energy of yours? See if you can shift that around instead of your Ki." Takeshi wanted to tell Shu he was being silly for worrying but the kid was clearly not loving his idea. Poor little guy, he was really having a lot of difficulty with this. Sighing softly he smiled apologetically, instead ushering Shu over to join him. Maybe just blasting was too quick for Shu, they had to get down to the absolute basics. If he could just find a better way of explaining things then surely his brother would get it then, right? What could be simpler then than the ebb and flow of water. Using a small pool as an example Takeshi created a small current with his finger, trying to demonstrate the currents inside ones body that would be Ki. It should be clear enough this way, what with a visual representation to go by and all. Teasingly tapping Shu's nose the older boy smirked, watching as he got back rather eagerly. "You don't have to aim at me this time. Just picture that water when you're trying to move it around." Getting to his feet himself Takeshi watched over his sibling, smiling confidently and giving a nod to go ahead. Shu looked to be moving around his Ki pretty well then, he could see it shifting. Not a moment after he'd started a few bursts shot out of his fingertips, firing off in erratic directions and knocking the little guy on his butt. Smiling exasperatedly Takeshi slapped his own forehead, dropping his hands as he went over to his brother. "You did better that time buddy, honest," he said, squatting down and reaching out to pat Shu's head, "But you've got to keep it in too. If you feel it get too close to your hand draw it back. I'm guessing you can feel your Ki moving, right?" Hopefully he did anyways, otherwise they were going to have to simplify lessons even further. Taking a seat before Shu the older boy crossed his legs, smiling as he held out his hand, palm facing upward. "Watch my arm for a second and try to feel my energy. You should be able to tell that it's moving, this is what you want to go for." Just for a little demonstration he began shifting his own Ki, sending it down his arm and back again at a fairly rapid pace. Since he was so used to it Takeshi could do it relatively easily, but realized it might be a touch tricky for Shu to spot. Slowing it then to a more reasonable pace he smiled again at his brother, raising an eyebrow. "Well, can you feel it? Notice how it's moving?"
