Gunner tensed slightly when Sebastian mentioned a so-called admirer. He shook his head a little when he told him life wasn't just about Strigoi. He looked at Sebastian, "It is. For me. This is my job, the thing I have to give my life to," He shrugged, "Simple as that."

He stuffed his hands into his pockets, "I don't have time for fun and girls... I won't in the future when I'm an actual Guardian... Besides, I'd just get distracted."

His own head went to think about Anya. He remembered when they found out what had happened. He had been furious. Sure, he didn't have any romantic inclination toward her but he hated that he might have been able to protect her... Or at least, get her out of there. He sighed, not wanting to stay on the train of thought. He looked at Sebastian before returning his eyes to walk in front of us, "So... Who's this supposed admirer?"

Serena went to her room and carefully set her things down. Her heart was pounding. So, he knew how she was feeling that didn't mean he knew everything... She started to rummage through her things before she found one of her small and lighter scarfs. Running over to the bathroom, she folded it carefully before tying it. It didn't cover all of her neck, just she felt safer with it on. Maybe Sebastian didn't know. Her hands were shaking wildly as she walked over to her things and started to put them away. If he knew... surely, he'd tell everyone. Then she'd be back where she was at St. Catherina's. Her hands tightened around the shirt she was in the midst of putting away. If someone found out... They might and try and take advantage of her, just like the Moroi back home did... Then in was pointless coming to America. She sat on her bed and sighed... Maybe she should avoid Sebastian. However, that would mean distancing herself from Anna and Gunner and they both seemed nice. She took a deep breath and returned to unpacking.
