 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Ash looked confused and uncomfortable at Aria's staring, then smiled again at her squeal. Did other people... get happy when Ash was happy? That was nice. She needed to smile more, then, if it reassured everyone else. "It definitely worked. I feel better now." She gave the other girl a little thumbs up.
Ash only looked at her appearance when someone took pictures of her, and she didn't know what she looked like right now. Did she look bad most of the time? Or did she just look extra good when she smiled? She wasn't quite sure, but she decided to take it as a compliment for now. In her current mood, she was a little less anxious and a little more forgiving. "...thanks," she replied, taking notes on both of their observed behaviors after the charm had been cast. |
