"I think that would work, Zayne. I can't tell if I dug enough underneath, though." She gave a smile to the girl before turning to Ezra. She gave a thought shuffling over slightly to give him room to help. "Maybe if you pull it up, I can use the rock to make sure I got all the dirt scraped away?" she suggested.
Honestly, her mind was thinking about decorating pots. They'd each need three to give to the others and her mind was already toying with how to design them. She had an idea for a pot that she could give to Ezra, and one for Onoway but she wasn't sure what Zayne liked.
"Zayne? What do you like?" she asked, seemingly out of the blue. She smiled at the tale putting her hand down in the hole and scraping more dirt with the rock.

Still basking in the glow of having her idea approved of, Zayne was caught totally off-guard when Chailyn asked what she liked. It was the sort of question Zayne dreaded. She couldn't very well say nothing, because everyone liked something - but she didn't dare say too much, because what if the other kids didn't like the same things she did?
She bit her lip a little, trying to find a way out of this situation. Perhaps if she tried to pick something she though everyone else would like...
"Well, I like flowers because they're colorful."
That was good, everyone else obviously liked flowers or they wouldn't be trying to save them.

Onoway blinked, her head tilting to the side as she pondered Ezra's words. "That many...?" Well, she didn't see any harm in having all four of them decorating for the other three. "I'm sure there's more flowers no one will mind if we take," she added positively. If no one cared about the welfare of these, would the fate of ones in another park concern them? It was very doubtful, but would apparently play to their benefit.

"Good idea, Chailyn," Ezra said cheerfully. "I'll pull it whenever you're ready." He cracked his knuckles thoughtfully, grateful for Chai's gloves. This flower saving business was hard work.
Zayne's answer seemed a little strange to him, for some reason, and he snuck a look at the girl. She was kind of... odd. He couldn't figure her out. Was she just being shy, like him, or was she hiding her true mean nature, like that jerk Tybalt? Deciding to give her the benefit of the doubt, Ezra smiled briefly at her and agreed.
Decorating lots of flower pots -- not to mention saving that many flowers -- would be hard work, but Ezra was up for the challenge. He liked the idea of decorating more and more. He wasn't exactly sure what to paint on the others' pots... well, he could do a butterfly pattern for Onoway. As for the others... if he couldn't figure something out, he could always do a flower pattern.
"I sure hope none of these flowers die after we worked so hard to save them," he commented, glancing over at his pathetic little frozen flower in its pot.

Chailyn was a bit dumb-struck by Zayne's answer. That didn't give her much of an idea for how she could decorate a flower pot. She gave a nod and a somewhat nervous smile wondering what she would do. This was harder than she thought.
She nodded in agreement with Onoway, why would anyone mind? They weren't hurting the flowers. They were helping them. So it really shouldn't be a problem for anyone. At least, she didn't think so.
"Ok, Ezra. Pull," she said taking the rock and digging away at the pieces she'd missed. Of course it was easier now that she could see a bit more of what she was doing.

As attention shifted away from her, Zayne felt both relieved and pressured. She hated trying to figure out what to say so that no one would dislike her (and she didn't feel like she was particularly successful anyway), but she liked the feeling she got when people praised her.
Remaining silent for now, she shifted to watch the others help Chailyn - ready to step in if anyone asked her to.
