[b]Arcana (Featuring Lilith - Gardening Club)[/b]

Arcana let out a small "chirp" noise when the fairy, Lilith, shook the talon at the end of her index finger. [b]"Ye-yeah! I'd l-lo-love to dig!"[/b] She stammered in response, then shifted on her clawed feet make herself more comfortable in her squatting position. [i]'She's [b]really[/b] afraid of mandrakes, or something. I wonder why? They're so cute.'[/i] She thought as Lilith expressed her desire to stay as far as possible from the mandrake. 

[b]"W-well, I'll t-t-try my best."[/b] Arcana mumbled nervously, her hands fumbling with the trowel she was holding until she dropped it. She left it there and took a small breath to calm herself, then turned slightly to examine the mandrake they were going to replant into the empty bed of soil in front of them. Arcana could tell by it's leaves that it was a chubby and particularly healthy one, which made her wonder how effective the [i]Smokers[/i] were for a brief moment, before she discarded the thought. A direct hit [b]should[/b] stun even adolescent mandrakes. These would go down even if they weren't blasted full-force, even if they were rather... [i]fat[/i], or so she assumed. She carefully worked her talons around the edges of the dirt in the pot, making sure not to unearth the mandrake's face just yet. When the soil seemed loose enough to give-way, she cocked her head to look at Lilith.

[b]"Ah-alright, um - I'll dig it out on th-the count of three,"[/b] Arcana's heart leapt to her throat, causing her to gulp audibly. She waited for Lilith to get ready before placing her hand loosely around the stem poking out of the soft soil. [b]"One... two... [i]t--three![/i]"[/b] She gripped the mandrake's head stem firmly and [b][i]pulled[/i][/b]. She felt the dirt give-way as the head and face crowned from the soil. Time seemed to slow down as she waited with anticipation for Lilith to smoke it.
