Though Zilla was growing steadily more impatient, her Sneasel was all too eager to help. When Kepler accepted the assistance and began providing instructions, the small blue weasel smiled wide and the feathery plumage on her rump flared out with joy. She hopped over to the fractured pane to better help the scientist pry a shard free, though it proved a difficult feat nevertheless. Though it was a small section of a much larger lens, it was still hefty and cumbersome.

[break][break]In truth, Sneasel probably did very little of the heavy lifting, but she tried nevertheless; ultimately, Kepler and his Marshtomp did most of the hard work. The group hurried back down the staircase — well, as quickly as they could while heaving oversized panes of glass — and made it to the nearby cliff-side as Zilla kept a lookout for anything that would have cut the process short. But nothing came to interrupt them.

[break][break]Kepler and the Marshtomp tossed lens pieces into the water far below, where an unseen beast gathered them up. Sneasel, who'd been too short and too physically weak to help carry the larger bits, had managed to collect a chunk that was no larger than a standard baseball. It was small enough to fit in one's palm but probably didn't have much use outside of looking pretty and maybe making some jewelry. Despite this, she wanted to keep helping, so she threw the piece over the edge and watched as it splashed into the water fall before.

[break][break]Once the glass panes hit the water, the group headed back up the lighthouse staircase to fetch more pieces. This back-and-forth effort continued a few times until Zilla eventually called it. "We'd better get going before the cops show up," she cautioned, and Kepler seemed to agree. That would tie over Rocket's science department for a while, at least. "Good work, dork," the grunt teased with a playful smile.
