[Sickness. Something he's lived with for a long time, maybe? And he fought anyway... She doesn't know Souji well, but she remembers how kind he was to her when Sokka had been taken for their 'infiltration.' Add that to the wounds Sokka had received in sparring with him over the past - year? - and she begins to get a general sense of the man. Whatever was happening, he deserved her respect.
Even if fighting with Toph like he had while he was sick was an idiotic, bullheaded thing to do. And had anyone even told Toph that he was sick? What had Toph done to make this so much worse?
She kneels across from Souji, but though the water is still on her hands, she doesn't place them on him yet.]
Will you let me try to help you? I don't know if I can. But I'd like to try. At least I can fix your rib.
