Faye Laurence
When they had landed back on ground, Faye opened her eyes and carefully listened to her summon while her index fingers tapped one another around holding her quarterstaff as she thought about his words. When he had finished voicing his concern, she looked up at him and smiled warmly. "I admit I myself.. am not really comfortable travelling with so many people I am unfamiliar with.." she said looking away recalling the nervousness she felt during the introductions.
"However.." she turned her head slowly to make eye contact once again.
"This is what the council decided.. that the angels are strongest united and if you ask me Jake.." she lifted one hand; the one wearing the stone ring to play with a ray of sunlight in their direction and watched it wrap around her fingers over and over again.
"I believe everything happens for a reason.. there's a reason we were chosen.. just like there's a reason I'm an angel..and you are my summon." she said with a clear smile on her face. She withdrew her hand from the ray of light as it shone on Jake. Faye walked towards him and reached out her hand to lightly reposition strands of his hair that had moved out of place from the wind.
"So it won't come to that Jake.. it won't be over for us. Maybe now it seems hard.." she pulled back her hand so it rested by her side. "But later.. maybe.. instead of increasing the hardness of your job.." she drifted in thought as her other hand kept a firm grip on her staff. "But maybe one day.. angels and summons will complement one another.. we'd complement one another as a team who had grown to know and understand one another." The corners of her mouth lifted to reveal another smile.
"But I really appreciate you looking out for me.. I really do" she said cheerfully tilting her head with closed eyes and wearing her usual smile. As a calming breeze passed, she reopened her eyes and brought her ring hand in front of her to make into a confident fist. "We can do this Jake."
