 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Ash didn't miss Luther's frown, nor did she connect it to her doubt at his words in response to her question in response to his body language. That was a few too many steps for her to think about without getting lost. "I love music too," she said, smiling briefly. She had strong feelings toward most things, really. But she was a huge fan of playing music. "What instrument or instruments do you play?"
Ash's smile stuck on her face and she got a dreamy look in her eye as she spoke about art. She loved art. Painting, drawing, getting tattoos, going to museums... the list went on. "I find painting really calming because it helps me work through my feelings. And I've been painting since I was a little kid, so it's comforting. And I think it's beautiful and expressive and fun. I like to paint people the best.
And phoenixes.
And flowers.
And everything." |
