Eventually Hayaka's earthbender friend shows up. Beila explains the problem to him, and together they carefully remove all the wooden boards, and the earthbender sinks the entire lot to provide a good, thick covering for the sinkhole that should stand up to casual weight.
"I'll have to tell the guy not to build on this lot, at least not anything heavy," says Beila. "Or it'll just re-open."
"You could sit a house on this," says the earthbender. "Not an office building, I'd have to sink it deeper to give it that."
"Thank you very much for your help," Beila tells him.
"No thanks necessary, that earthquake was the spookiest thing I ever felt," says the earthbender, shaking his head. "If you say this'll stop it, I'm satisfied."
"It should," says Beila. She wafts up to a standing position. "Dao, d'you want to come along to talk to the owner?"
