The Dedicated took a breath and seized hold of saidin, driving thick weaves of Earth into the soil that surrounded the plant in front of him. He added some Water to this, coaxing the roots below to grow larger to support the plant above. Moments passed in which he did nothing but direct the weave towards the roots, working until he sensed that he needed to move on. Letting go, Kalyan formed another weave, this one with much less Water, and settled it around the tiny branches of the recently planted bush. He much preferred this work to dealing with the roots, and he smiled as the branches grew taller and thicker, sprouting narrower offshoots that began to bud with light green leaves.
He adjusted the weave again, using less Earth and more Water, happily watching the leaves unfold to cover the branches. Before long, the bush that had started out so small had grown to match the size of the other plants nearby, those that had already been worked on by himself or another who shared the Talent. The Dedicated leaned forward, closer to the plant, staring into the leaves as little pink strawberries began to form. The sight wasn't new to him any more, but Kalyan still found it fascinating to watch the berries enlarge and turn to red, and he took pride in knowing his effort had made it happen.
