Sebastian smiled, "Thank you..."

He watched her go and shook his head before heading towards the Feeding Area. He headed inside and signed up avoiding most of the other Moroi as he shoved his hands into his pockets and leaned against the wall.

Anna laughed, "Don't knock my junk food, it brings me comfort."

As Niya called them funny Anna smiled, "Well we aim to entertain." She nodded, "Kinda... there is a gym and usually our teacher guides our exercises and then the Gym is open till curfew so we can practice on our own initiative if we want."

As she looked off at the door and started to worry again Gunner tugged her hair and she smiled, "Right... I can't mother him all the time."

When he mentioned his bedroom tour being heaven she almost choked on her pizza, her cheeks going bright red embarrassingly enough. "In your dreams pretty boy," it was basically what she'd said to him the last time he'd teased her about it and she remembered being almost as flustered then. She'd come back to school expecting to find her scrawny best friend and instead he'd been a muscled up skilled fighter. It had been awkward for a little while because she hadn't been sure how to see him... as the friend she'd known forever or... well... Her blush got deeper and in an attempt to divert the conversation she brushed her hair from her face and pointed out Serena headed their way.

"Oh look, my favorite Italian is back! Welcome back!"

She tried not to be aware that she sounded a little overly excited about Serena's return in her attempt to avoid further confusing conversation about Gunner's room. What the hell was wrong with her? Since when did Gunner's teasing get to her like that? She took a drink of her juice to cool her temperature... it seemed overly warm in here.

"Seb go to the feeders or something?"

Alex nodded, "Mmhm, the Moroi classes are optional so they don't take place during normal school hours... It is during their down time. I suppose this way the Queen avoids forcing such lessons upon those who feel above it... So far I've had an astounding number sign up. Myself and the other Guardians will be over seeing the training personally... another way to appease the Royals and keep them feeling special."

His tone wasn't bitter when he said it, only amused. He'd long ago accepted the way things were. "I agree, if more Moroi took it upon themselves to help their Guardians protect them there would be a great many fewer losses on both sides."

He glanced at her teasingly, "Why? Did you wish to learn physical defense?"
