Which came first, the phoenix or the flame? "Yeah, of course." Ash looked up at Claudine. "I think love is sparkly." But she needed a breakkkkkkkk. She went over to the professor. "I like your clothes professor. Thanks for the drinks." She snagged a cocoa. Yum. And she nodded at Lilith. "Thank you?" And she took some cookies, and set it all down by her workspace. She got back to work, muttering some things under her breath. "crazy child, broken pyromancer. Surfer artist, singer-dancer. Muggleborn fighter, can't shut up. Cookie lover, almost-writer, she just wants love. And stuff." Anddd that was her new theme song. She paused to eat her food. It was almost time for sparkles. But first, kitty cat. She walked over to Ilya. "Can I pet your kitty cat? Maybe? No? Okay." Well actually, he hadn't said no yet. YET. She looked at him hopefully. But also disappointedly, as if she already knew the answer. That was a fun contrast, wasn't it? Child Ash who hoped for the best and reality Ash who'd only seen the worst. And she just stood there, unsure of which Ash she wanted to express. And waited. |
