At first, while she attempted to rid the hole of the roots that seemed to grasp on harder the more she tried to dig at them, she noticed the raven remain in place. She didn’t mind, honestly. If he even stayed there the entire time she struggled, it was nice having a smidge of the company he provided. But what she hadn’t expected was the raven to hop closer upon her suggestion. She leaned back again, her eyes following him curiously while he moved to the place she had dug and attempted to pull on the main root causing most of the problems. And when he hadn’t gotten it initially, she noted the croak of frustration with a curious eye.
“It’s okay.” She said to the raven, her voice soft but laced with an almost humorous sound. She was simply surprised he was doing what she inadvertently asked. This creature was smart and she wasn’t certain if he was entirely raven, but she didn’t know who it could be. Certainly, the white would have been a good giveaway, but Rexanna wasn’t known to put information where it didn’t make sense. She had no other reason to guess that Jigano could shift forms like Remi could. She had no idea what he was capable of. But when the raven reached back in to tug hard on the root, she used one hand with the shovel to help him pry it out, and one more behind him in case he used all his strength and would fall back when it gave way.
It only took a tug or two with the both of them helping before the root made a quiet almost muffled crack and snapped out of place. With a cheery grin along her face again she looked at the raven. “Ah it worked!” She chimed, using her shovel to get the smaller roots out with a surprising amount of ease. And despite sticking her hands into the dirt, they came away surprisingly clean.
