Gunner grinned at Anna punched his shoulder. After the punches he'd been taking from the guardians all summer, it was nothing. He looked at her she asked about food. He nodded and grinned, "That would be..." He stopped and grabbed her waist, pulling her up and over his shoulder. He held one of her legs as the other rested on her back. He looked to the Moroi and smiled, "The feeders joined to the dining hall if you need any of that," he nodded, "I'm going to take this one to get some chow. You are welcome to join."

He turned still carrying Anna, ignoring any of her attempts to make him put her down. He carried her into the dining hall to the far end when a cafeteria style lay out was. It was quiet and almost empty, but there was a woman behind the counter ready to help. Gunner waved and put Anna on the ground, bracing himself for any of her attacks, "Food would be right here."

She rose her eyes to watch Gunner and Anna. She was about to answer his question when suddenly Anna was being lifted onto Gunner's shoulder and he was looking at them. She quickly dropped Sebastian's hand and gave him a smile, "Okay... Thanks Gunner."

When he turned away, she didn't take Sebastian's hand again. After all, now it was Anna who was looking at them. Even if she was busy beating Gunner's back. She turned look at Sebastian and gave him a small smile, "I've been... alright... yes," She bit her lip, wanting to talk about anything else, "What about you? And your dad..."
