[ She goes blessedly quiet for a few minutes, digging up the memories again. While Jinora has always been the best student, Ikki has always been good at retaining information (especially information no one actually wanted her to retain, i.e. everything people said to her about other people, which was then shared with those other people on occasion), and it's mostly a matter of shifting through things to make certain she has it straight. ]
Okay! There's an order of 'em, and the first one is the earth chakra! That one deals with survival, but is blocked by fear. Then next is the fire - so, wait, next is the water chakra, which deals with pleasure but is blocked by guilt!
[ She doesn't immediately connect any pictures to these concepts, and probably would be hard pressed to decide what in her life actually matches - or if she has enough to match up with any of these things, having lived for only seven years - but instead is rattling them off as though Shikamaru asked her to recite her lessons, which he essentially did. ]
Third is fire, which deals with willpower and is blocked by shame! Fourth is, um, air! Which deals with love and is blocked by grief. Then you have the sound chakra - I guess when you only have four elements they have to be other things if you have more than four! - but anyway then is sound, which deals with truth an' is blocked by lies!
Theeeeeen there's light, and that one is 'insight' blocked by 'illusion' and when I asked about those daddy sighed and then there's the one we talked about!
Anyway, the story is that there was a Guru who told this to grandpa, who told this to daddy, and I think it's also in the journals from Katara or maybe the ones from grandpa? Iiiiiii mostly let Jinora read me those.
And sometimes they got boring 'cause she liked the boring parts!
