@theasteria - npc starter call ( ft. melissa richards. the mother / paynes guardian angel )

                        ❝  éfkolo mikré.  ❞ she smiles softly, the greek feeling almost foreign as it comes off her tongue after so long. angelic frame stopping near the other, and melissa knew. she would sense just who she was, or maybe she'd seen the one picture payne carried. the picture she tended to cry over when missing melissa. something that pained the now angel. shaking off the thoughts, she lets her eyes trail to her daughter, before returning to look at her friend. ❝  you're good for her you know. i don't think i've ever seen her smile as much as she does, when she's with you.  ❞

                        melissa had kept out the way, as much as she could, but she had never been able to properly leave payne. no, melissa only found rest when she knew her girl was okay. and seeing her happy, making friends was a balm to the angels bleeding heart. and sure she rolled her eyes at some of paynes more crazy ideas, her daughter was living, was loving, and that was the main thing.

                        ❝  i am, little one.  ❞ she teases softly. a smile lifting her lips that spoke of mischief and was a carbon copy of her daughters. head tilting as she watches the other put the pieces together, as oh melissa could sense the young woman was powerful. definetly as powerful as her own daughter if not more so . ❝  you're right dear. upon my death at the hands of my son, they made me a guardian angel. of course they expected me to care for others, but i couldn't leave my little girl. not after all she's been through.  ❞

                        ❝  i know.  ❞ she grins once more. alluding to the fact she had indeed been watching from time to time . ❝  you also stop her from her more crazy ideas. i feared for a while she'd continue chasing death, if only to numb her inner demons.  ❞ melissa says quietly. feeling more than comfortable discussing this with the young woman. after all she had a destiny all her own.

Astra was stunned that this woman finally spoke to her. She could see the divine being around Payne sometimes, but she always remained just far enough to remain undetected for the most part. Astra, who had a strong Sight, could sense her sometimes.

She looked familiar; a flash of a photo frame in Payne's home entered her mind and brown eyes widened from surprise.

"H-Hello," Astra began with hesitation. "Are you... her mother?" Astra had had a few encounters with her own mother, but Astra had....always blocked her out, not wanting to hear what she had to say. A part of her was still working to heal her abandonment issues regarding her mother. "I have sensed you a few times, but up close you're.... you're divine. Different from those who have passed on."

The compliment had her cheeks warming a bit and she lowered her gaze. "I am glad to see her smiling. She means so much to me."
