Anna blinked at a complete loss at first as the other girl greeted her with what she recognized as Russian but she'd never learned to speak it. As the other girl switched to English Anna smiled good naturedly, "No problem, I bet it's hard to get used to speaking in English when you've spoken Russian all your life... You're one of the transfer students right?"

As Niya pointed to the beds Anna chuckled, "Mmmm.... I'll take the one on the right if you want the one on the left?" She tossed her bag onto the right bed and unzipped it, she didn't have much. Her family wasn't wealthy and all her money went to them other than the little she needed to get her by at school. They needed it more than she did. She folded the few outfits she had and sat a picture of she, Gunner, Sebastian, and a beautiful blonde girl with hazel eyes named Anya that none of them talked about anymore.

"So, how are you liking your first day?"

Sebastian scoffed, "I am perfectly capable of handling myself, thank you... Y'know... when I'm not sneaking off to get into trouble... Speaking of trouble..." He grimaced and pinched the bridge of his nose again, "Apparently my 'self medicating', as Anna puts it, isn't doing much good. This headache is killer and I haven't even DONE anything... You'd think this curse would save the bad ones for when I heal puppies or something... So far, it's just been auras and more auras.... Didn't start till I got back to this damn Academy either..."

He leaned against the wall with a groan, "Before you tell me to go to my room Gunner, remember what I might say back to that," he wiggled his eyebrows at the other guy suggestively. Sebastian was in no way bisexual but he wasn't afraid to say embarrassing things to get his way. He glanced at Serena and frowned, "Your aura is real grey you know that... usually means deep sorrow..." His eyes went distant a moment as his mind brushed hers and he recoiled from the contact, sure she probably hadn't felt it but he had... and as usual it was too much... He felt too much, he saw too much and though it was disjointed and didn't make much sense he was pretty sure he didn't WANT to know... not that much, not about anyone. Knowing someone like that, for him, was dangerous. Without another word, his expression dark, he stepped away from the group. "I'm going to finish unpacking."

"Oh yes... Sometimes I forget. I don't keep up well with Moroi classes, the students yes but the classes... Не так много."

He nodded, "I would be glad to escort you... What is it you wished to do there?" He reached out and took some of the books from her, helping her lessen the awkwardness and weight of the load.

"Let me help."
