Then, swinging his attention back to her, he speaks sudden words of elevation in her name and Pheonix Rising's front half falls once more just as suddenly at the realization.

The pheonix is exalted and she is struck, looking to his face perhaps a moment longer then she should have until it is broken by his dismissal. She could not fail her people. She could not fail Pharoah.
