William went over to Zane and said, "I don't think you should do that." The young man still maintained a sense of what was right and proper, but his protest was weak, especially as the young man was still eating the frankfurters and other foodstuffs Zane had cooked up. He then turned towards the Treants, then to Rhea and Liors, saying, "I don't think sweet-talking the trees is going to help much; the Headmaster gave their orders himself."

He then looked at Zane once more, and said, "That said, I don't think we should start a fight with the talking trees; they're too much even for us to tackle. That said..." He paused for effect, "A distraction isn't a fight." 

He then touched his palm to the ground, willing his [I]Reader of Existence[/i] spell to show a visual record of an event important to the lives of the Treants; something memorable even in their long history. That ought to distract them long enough for him to begin the next phase of his plan, which was to run back to tell Liors and say, "Summon a Shovel using your Creation Magic and give it to me; I'll dig them out and we can go to the woods together!"
