Sebastian let her guide him and took a seat beside her after she'd signed them up. He sat with her awkwardly in silence for a few moments before she asked her question. Honestly, seeing the bruise there bothered him... it made him angry and if he kept seeing it he might do something violent even after she'd asked him not to. With a slight smile he reached out and put his hand on her cheek... magic welled in him and his hand tingled and warmed against her skin and within the space of a second the bruising was gone.

"Not anymore," he murmured as his fingers brushed over her cheekbone lightly. He knew she wouldn't approve but he couldn't stand seeing her hurt... not when he could fix it with a thought. Besides, the toll on him for something so simple would be a small one... Better him suffer than her, he couldn't stand her being stared at if anyone saw the mark... He knew how those stares made her feel.

The lady at the desk calling his name broke him out of the spell and he stood and mussed her hair playfully, "Be right back..."

Anna laughed, "I have to make sure I keep you on your toes. It's not healthy to follow the rules all the time... It's so boring."

As he made excuses for them she grinned, "Very true...very true indeed."

She finished her snack and stood, "Well, lets go."

She couldn't deny she was excited, practicing some with Gunner meant she'd get a head start on the rest of the class even if she did get her behind handed to her in the process. As she started off towards the Gym she hesitated, "You think those two will be alright?" She shook her head thinking of the gooey eyes they'd been making at each other even if they had been trying to hide it. "Actually, nevermind... They'll be fine."

She glanced around in the hallways, making sure the Guardians weren't nearby, and then slipped into the gym. Luckily, not having expensive clothes meant she could fight in basically any of them. She pulled her hairband off her wrist and yanked her thick hair up into a quick, messy ponytail. She hadn't gotten to play around with a Guardian over break but she remembered their defensive lessons well enough and even if she hadn't gotten to use them on anything living yet she knew the basics.

She picked a mat and then took a ready stance, hands up to fend off attacks. "Alright romeo... hit me with your best shot."

She figured she might regret saying that later but if he held back she'd be irritable for a week.
