Ash turned a bit pink and looked at the ground. Uh. "Anyway, I'll start singing to these plants... I guess." She sang the plant a love song. Quietly. So that people wouldn't stare or anything. She also monitored the plant for signs of activity.
Violet marveled at Ash Fox's sudden departure into poetic phrases. Music, and now this--the girl definitely had hidden depths. And immediately Violet found words rising from her own memory:

'As a pale phantom with a lamp
Ascends some ruin's haunted stair,
So glides the moon along the damp
Mysterious chambers of the air...'


Violet shook herself--this was no time for Wordsworth. Instead, she felt this called for clear visualization, and so she closed her eyes for a moment, until she clearly saw in her mind's eye the way the soft, magical light had looked shining in the night. Then, very softly, she cast the spell: "Lumos."
