 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Ash wasn't in a very good mood today. For no real reason. Well, other than every single event that had ever happened in her whole entire life, there was no real reason.
She sat down next to Kayne, not bothering to greet anyone else. She couldn't even really tell who was in the room. It wasn't even really clear if she had sat there on purpose or randomly.... Who knew?
She sat next to him without saying a word, then took off her shoes and socks and watched him fix his nails. That was it. That was her greeting. She saved it just for him. Congratulations.
...
"Vice president." The words finally came, consciously or subconsciously. One of those. She could tell that she was talking. That was definitely true. And she was sitting next to Kayne. That was definitely true as well.
Ash was not very into the music playing today, if there was music playing.
She perked up a bit when she saw that there was no bread. Hey, that was good! Maybe she would pay attention to whatever was going on. Maybe. We'll see.
Since she was being nice... and since there was no bread today... "Hi Professor Peralta."
A thought popped into Ash's mind. A thought. Woah. She leaned over to Kayne. "Guess what? My toes and fingers match!" They were both painted black! Wow, look at that! She wiggled her fingers and toes.
She leaned back in her chair. Please, let my day get better and not worse.
