Sebastian laughed and followed close behind her before digging through his clothes to find something... teachery. It wasn't easy since dress clothes weren't really his style. He'd always worn them so messily because it was simply more comfortable than worrying with the tie and all the buttons on the damn dress shirt. However, with Serena's help he managed to come out looking professional... and feeling awkward for it. He'd always been the rebellious type so being an authority figure felt... odd.

"I think I suddenly feel old," he muttered and raked a hand through the hair Serena had just fought to tidy... messing it up again and smiling happily. "There, that's better..."

He watched her get dressed and smiled, "I suppose while I teach you could keep an eye on our two hard headed friends... Help guard the school. It would give you something to do so you're not just having to stand around the classroom..."

He straightened up his tie and sighed, "I suppose that I should do the whole orientation thing now... I've put it off most of the day but it's not really required..." Ok, so he'd partly been trying to squirm out of his duties for the day but he knew Serena would be upset with him if he didn't at least try to make this job work. He moved up behind her, slipping his arms around her, "I love you..."

Jace watched the Guardian walk off with a slight smirk, "Well, that was... interesting."

Judging from the Guardian's reaction he still held some feeling for Anna even if it was more over protective brother than romantic. He could read auras better now than he could before and from what he'd seen Gunner was pretty messed up... Maybe more messed up than Anna. His idea that things could be fixed between the two now was a little iffy. He sighed, he owed Anna for what he'd done to her. If he could find some way to at least get her mind off the other Guardian then maybe he'd feel less like an ass for the scar on her neck.

He suddenly grinned, another idea beginning to form. Sometimes the best of friends are the best of enemies... He knew just the person to drag Anna from her pity party and possibly bring back some of her fire...

Without further ado he lifted the phone from his pocket and dialed the teacher of the fire moroi. "Hey Rae... You know that favor you owe me..."

Anna leaned against the outside of the Girl's dorm in the stiff Guardian pose, face blank and looking attentive when really her mind was wandering like crazy. She couldn't focus, too much regret running around in her head. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to keep this job with Gunner here, she'd never be able to concentrate on work. There would always be times she'd run into him and she'd be right back here... upset and trying to cope. Plus, she didn't really think seeing her was doing HIM any favors. They were just going to continuously hurt each other... So, what was the point?

Anna's phone rang and she touched the button of the blue-tooth in her ear... It was a way to keep her hands free in case of a problem and a way to communicate with other Guardians if she needed to. As it was, the voice on the line wasn't a Guardian.

"Jace... how in the hell did you get my number?"
