 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Andddd here was a professor. Right on cue. "Sooooo the background to this is that I had one conversation with her boyfriend or ex or dream husband, I don't know. I have my own crush, and it's not him. And she decided that a good way to show how much that made her insecure was to shove me around and call me a worthless... well, you probably heard. And then I decided, that no, this is absolutely ridiculous, and I'm going to punch her. And then you showed up, and that's when I realized that I will lose this fight in the long run because you're going to tell Rosier and he's going to kill me." Ash said it in a weird voice. The kind comedians use. The kind where you would be crying if you weren't laughing. A kind of dark humor. And then she turned right back around, stuck her hands in her pockets, and rolled her eyes at Emmerson. "If you and your boyfriend hate each other, that's a you problem, not a me problem. And talking about my blood status won't help you solve your problems." Ash was very hurt, and the only way she knew how to hide it was anger and sarcasm and jokes. |
