[that's a little distracting. his concentration wavers for a moment before he drags it back.]

[just stays like that for a while, feeling]

...Well, I can sense some change in the direction of your energy. It's faint, but it's there.

[sits back, thoughtful]

I guess... you should probably keep this up for a while-- meditating, practicing. Once you feel like you can really tell, we'll try some more directed practice, okay? I'll keep practicing too, so I can be of more help.

[opens his eyes and leans back on his elbows]

All right... but how will I know?

[medpacksapunch]

Mm... well. Typically you can feel it, when you manipulate your chakra. If you're not getting much right now it's probably because it's weak and unpracticed.

I'm hoping that with enough practice you'll eventually really be able to notice the feeling, when you move your chakra through your body.

[doesnothappen]

I'll keep working on it.

[medpacksapunch]

Great. Keep me updated; if it gets to be a long time and you're really not making any progress, we'll try something else.

...I'll ask for Neji's help, too. Even if we don't have him block your pathways, he should still be able to see if anything is happening.

[doesnothappen]

Thank you. Should we try again next week?

[medpacksapunch]

Yeah, a week is probably a good time frame to judge this kind of thing...

[doesnothappen]

We can at least see if anything is different, right?

[medpacksapunch]

Right!

I mean, if there's been absolutely no change at all in a week, that's a bad sign, obviously. But I don't think that'll happen.

[doesnothappen]

All right! I'll do my best.

[medpacksapunch]

Yeah!

[doesnothappen]

Thanks, Tsunami.

[medpacksapunch]

of course! It's helpful for me, too, and I think it would be really neat for someone not from my home to learn it.

[doesnothappen]

We'll make it happen.
