Red had set up a few targets. By a few he had set up nearly two dozen of them. Saur was standing next to him, Red pet the creature on the head and smiled, "You can hit them all, and in order. Come on." Yes, Red numbered the targets too. Red started forward with Saur running next to him. Red didn't have to run too hard because Saur was kind of slow at running around.

Saur launched leaf after leaf into the air hitting one target after another cutting the wooden stands in two at different angles. However the sound of a voice caused Red to call off the large creature from his training. "Huh?" Red looked back toward the statue he arrived at, ran past his jacket snatching it up, "Come on Saur, I think someone arrived like us."

Red got to the metal bean first, followed by Saur a few paces behind him, "Hi!"

Toph felt the person and his...pet thing coming her way before they had gotten close enough to speak with her. She stayed put and waited for them to get to her.

"Hi." She didn't sound too excited. But then, it was to be expected from someone as hungry and lost as she was. "So, maybe you can tell me where I am and how to get back to Ember Island, right?"

Toph had never felt this guy's pet before, or anything like it, and it really confused her. What kind of animal had a flower growing out of it's back? However, the earthbender was far too confused with her current situation to pay much attention to it.

"Right... well," Red started, scratching his head, "I don't really know where that is but I'm pretty sure you can't get back there right now."

Red looked at her a moment, something seemed off. She wasn't making eye conta- oh! Oh... Well, she seemed pretty confident so maybe she had something to do without use of her eyes. "We're all trying to find a way home but so far we're stuck here. I'm Red." The blind thing made her not reacting to Saur make some sense. Red casually motioned to Saur to try to be quiet as he walked over with his friend's pokeball.

No point scaring the girl.

Toph frowned. This wasn't the greatest time to be stuck somewhere, especially with Sozen's Comet only days away. Well, she wouldn't get anywhere by yelling at this kid and his pet.

She sighed. "Well, do you know anywhere to get some food? I'm starved!" She then pointed down to the...thing. "What's up with your pet? I've never heard of a flower-dog before, and that's definitely what it feels like.
