"Let me dig it out then. You stay for smoking duty," Ajala replied and handed the skittish fox shifter the smoker she had taken with her. Picking up a nearby shovel, she gently pressed her finger against the soil to get a rough measure as to how much she had to dig before taking out chunks of earth bit by bit. While she looked calm and nonchalant on the outside, she could hear her heart beating on the inside, knowing how much trouble a mandrake seedling could cause if it wasn't smoked as soon as it was pulled out. 

Hearing noises next to her, the nagini glanced to her side and breathed with relief when she saw the new members successfully pulling out and replanting a mandrake seedling, hiccups aside. It gave her some measure of hope that everything would go on without a hitch.

With enough space for the seedling, she held onto the plant and prepared to pull it out, turning to look at her partner dead in the eye. "Shippo, smoke the mandrake on the count of three." Tightening her grip, the nagini began to count. "One... Two... Three!" she called and heaved the plant out, hoping that the fox shifter's skittishness wouldn't cost them precious hours and the club members' well-being.
