[The dog at least gets a smile; he's definitely a cutie.]
Okay then. [Now, how to approach this. Zatanna's got two different spells she can try, but both have potential flaws. Just flat out trying to levitate the balls might not work because she can't see them when she looks into the room, and locating them is tricky because there's no magic to trace. Still, she got a good look at them when Ocelet put on his demonstration. And if Robin were here, he'd definitely be saying she could handle something like this.
So she takes a breath, then lifts her hands out in front of her to physically direct the mystical energy of the spell, and closes her eyes.]
Etacol dna etativel, rebbur sllab! [Tying the spells together, searching for what she can see in her mind and making the things float once they've been found. It's a gamble, but one that pays off when one of the balls floats up out of its hiding place a few seconds after she speaks the spell, then another, and another still. Zatanna repeats the words, strengthens the effort, until by her count she's found just as many as Ocelot had hidden before.]
There. [And there's no hiding her pleased grin as she turns to face the man, a hand on her hip.] How's that going to let you sleep at night?
