I’ll be here to help if you need it.” But for now, Claudine would stand back and let Ash have her moment.

Keeping in mind what Ash had said in agreement about the words, the Snakette put on her thinking cap {not literally, of course}. She divided her attention between thinking and watching Ash. So far, Ash was handling things. Shortly after, Claudine zoned out for about a minute. Coming back to reality, she realised that she hadn’t even noticed when her mind slipped away from reality. “I think I’ve got it. What do you think of ‘No longer will you fear the darkness once you realise the phoenix in you will rise from the ashes’, Ash?”


See? This was someone who GOT it! Ash was so rarely happy, and here was something that never failed to cheer her up. It wasn't stupid, it was beautiful. And that was the hill she would die on.

Wow, Claudine was smart. So smart. And she came up with good sayings. Ash was glad she was working with her. "Hm? Oh, I think that's really good. But maybe we could change one word so that it's 'No longer will you fear the fire... or flames, I don't know, once you realize the phoenix inside you will rise from the ashes?" Ashes, get it? That amused Ash endlessly. She was destined to love phoenixes. HER NAME WAS ASH AND SHE WAS SAD. It was perfect. "It would work as is too."

Ash turned back to her painting. "What shade of red should I use," she wondered aloud. The question had her stuck for a full minute, until she decided to just have the shade come to her mind as she painted. "Pingaerosol red." and she visualized the color. What came out was a dark, dull red color, but the edges of the phoenix were definitely lighter and more orange. Ash liked it a lot.
