When Gunner came over and slipped an arm around her she smiled before he sat down with her. When he handed her her water bottle Anna took it gratefully and gulped probably half the bottle down, a drop escaping the corner of her mouth. "Thanks," she glanced at how much she'd drank and offered it back looking sheepish. "I didn't realize I was that thirsty..."

As he asked her about what she was planning to brag over she thought of the easiest way to break the news to him that she'd been training with someone he REALLY wouldn't be happy over her training with. "I've been practicing resisting compulsion with a spirit user for a couple days now... I finally managed it, Gun... Fifteen minutes, that has to be a record right? He gave up before me... though to be honest I... I kinda feel like I need to pass out and my-my head is kinda killing me... and sometimes I see spots..." She held up a hand, "BUT! I did it... Can I have the rest of your water?"

Her words came out fast, stumbling... unfocused and if she was being honest she was pretty sure that she was going to go basically comatose when she finally fell asleep. "I think I pushed it too hard... but I wanted to know how much I could take..." She leaned her head back against the wall, feeling dizzy again. She knew Gunner would put two and two together... He'd know she'd been training her ass off in the gym because he was here 9/10 times and to admit she'd also been pushing herself with this too wouldn't make him happy but even he would see how being able to resist compulsion would make her feel less vulnerable... and how much it attention it would gain her by the other elites. Resisting compulsion was a big deal, it usually took years to learn because why would you actively track down a strigoi and see if you got your ass killed trying? She was lucky enough to have Jace around and owing her favors.

Seb chuckled, "I love you too... I'll try not to over do it so much. I just worry..."

As she told him the names, Seb grinned. "I like them... and I hope they're like you because if they take after me we're going to have our hands full."
