That boy--Alphonse? His message had been worrying. Shuichi could see already that the young plants in his own garden were going to be washed out by the end of the day. He could always resow his garden, but there were others that were more established, like the orchard Alphonse had mentioned. It was easier to protect than to revive a plant, so keeping the plants from drowning was top priority

Toph could barely feel the other person approach due to the muddy earth around her. It was only a moment before he spoke she even knew he was there, but she really didn't mind at all. He sounded like he wanted to help and she wasn't going to turn someone away now.

"If you think you can help, I'm not gonna turn you away as long as you can be of use. Are you a bender or something?"

Because someone without bending or abilities of some sort was not really going to be of much help when it came to this. At least, not if they were alone.

"I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that term," Shuichi said lightly, "But I have some affinity with plants. The rain will was these away again, especially if it goes on all week. To keep them from eroding, I can cover them with vines with an extensive root network, that will hold the soil in place."

The redhead reached up and seemed to flip his hair. But when his hand came away, there was something held in it. Specifically, a seed. "How much of the river do you think you can cover?"

"If that's gonna keep these from falling over, I say let's do it."

Toph could feel the movement, but she could not see what was in his hand. She assumed though it was something that would help him make his plants.

"I can cover a good chunk of it and I know someone else here who can Earthbend. I can give him a call and he'll come over and help."

"Toph?"

He's followed her, a tiny bit, maybe.

"What are you up to?"

I'm so sorry for laaaaate ;___; OTL

Another person--someone Shuichi hasn't met. He's tired by this point, but still alert. He takes note of the newcomer, and nods slightly, but doesn't speak to him--he obviously knows the other person.

BUT TAGS ARE HERE NOW

"Break," Toph said as she finished making another wall on the edge of the river. "We're trying to prevent the river from flooding during this storm. You think you can help us?"
