Astra Taylor

❝ Well maybe it's because you do it all the time that people know it's you, or they think you're crazy and just won't say it out loud to you. ❞ She laughed as she shook her head to flip her hair back away from her face. ❝ I'm a little crazy and hey, I'm cool with it. ❞

Astra couldn't help but laugh because what she said was entirely possible, "You're right they probably do think I'm crazy." She hoped not in a bad way. There was enough bad thoughts about her family that she would hate to bring more of it.

"It's a good thing I'm adorable and they'll probably blame you," Astra said with a playful tone. "But seriously I won't poison anyone. I promise." It would not be a good look for her.

"I'm already all grown up, Mom," Astra said as if it was a matter of fact. She wasn't a little girl anymore. She wasn't even just a witch anymore like she had been most of her life. She felt like everything was changing but in Mystic Falls now she felt on solid ground again. "I think I'm going to stay a while." She was already working in town.

Shaking her head, Athena lightly laughed, ❝ You're good. I was talking to myself and honestly I think I've lost it a little. ❞

"Don't worry, I do it all the time. I'm surprised more people don't think I'm crazy but I find myself an excellent conversationalist," Astra said with a laugh. Partly trying to make the other one feel better but there was some truth in it.

"Yeah, Dave and I have been having some trust issues when it comes to closing," he said honestly, given the guy liked to let people in afterhours to sell them weed. "I'm working on someone instead of him as well," he laughed. Alot of working on events, it seemed. "Oh, yeah. All yours. Gone to keep you happy. Just promise to keep your family in line and paying."

Astra was wondering how long it would take for Ace to catch on to Dave but she wasn't going to snitch. Unless there was stealing involved and there hadn't been. "I can try with my cousins but my aunts and uncles are a completely different story," outside of Cami and Hayley she didn't know anyone that could get Klaus in line. She was cute but not all powerful.

"I remember. We had breakfast here a few times," in so many ways Mystic Falls was a big part of their lives because of the Salvatore Boarding school. She was able to be herself, the tribrid. Not someone pretending to be like everyone else. "Finn will just have to deal." She couldn't help but laugh. There was too much going on for any one thing not to overshadow him.

Astra was standing there texting on her phone when she heard someone speak. She looked up thinking they were talking to her and smiled as she as she saw the baby. Quickly shifting her gaze up to Athena, "I'm sorry, I didn't catch what you said."

Location: Mystic Falls off Main Street outside Mrs Flowers Bed and Breakfast "When did Mrs Flowers bed and breakfast close down?" Keelin signed, looking up at the old building that used to be her and Freya's favorite bed and breakfast to stay at when they passed through town to drop their kids off at the school or visit Hope back in the day. "I don't suppose the hotels are any good in town? I think I am going to need one."

Astra came up behind her mom to see what she was looking at. "It's closed down for some renovations I think," she said looking at the bed and breakfast. "Under new management or something." Which didn't help her moms with a place to stay for tonight. "There's always the motel but who wants to stay there." It wasn't ideal for anyone in her mind.

"Getting more people in might be good because I think I'm the only one closing tomorrow night," she didn't think she couldn't handle it but she could only imagine how busy it would be with people talking about the deal on drinks. She would probably have to use her vampire speed to handle it. Mostly joking to herself because she knew her moms wouldn't be happy if she did. "But no joke about those tips."

Benjamin was having a tough time at his mother's shop, sorting through the catalog. Nothing seemed to be going right as he tried to organize the stock, only to have it repeatedly fall off the shelves. Frustrated, he muttered a curse to himself, oblivious to the fact that someone had entered the shop until he looked up and dropped everything he was holding. Benjamin, who worked at the auction house as a cataloguer, felt a sense of embarrassment at his clumsy mishap. "Sorry, did you need something? I'm kinda busy," Benjamin quickly apologized, feeling a mix of embarrassment and distraction as he tried to gather the items he had dropped.

Astra didn't think she was quiet when she walked into the Auction House but maybe she was sneakier than she thought. "I'm sorry," she said as she held up two coffees with a pastry bag. "I thought you got my text." It probably would have been better to wait for Ben to respond to wanting coffee rather than just sending it and heading over.

Location: Mystic Falls Grill

Astra was just headed back to the kitchen to check her tables food was out yet. "Oh yeah that's going to make it less busy," she said almost sarcastically.
