Indeed he could water the young plants, and he did so gladly. Drawing water up from the river he used his magic to let it fall in a gentle sprinkle over the young saplings and newly-sown seeds, moving slowly up one bank and spending extra time with each of the trees that the others had worked so hard to give a new home.
Once he was sure that they had the best start he could provide he dove and swam his way across the powerful river to the other bank to refresh the seeds he had worked with the wind to plant over there. He worked in and around Farrow and Sohalia as they spread the straw, soaking the soil thoroughly first, and then coming back to dampen the straw afterwards so it would be heavy enough to remain in place and not get blown away.
