Anya felt her heart flutter a little when she felt Sebastian's hand holding hers. She looked at him as they walked to the feeders and allowed him to sign them up before taking a seat. She frowned slightly when he spoke though. She shook her head and removed her hand from his, "I can't... You need to make a decision, Sebastian... You either like me or you don't. You know how I feel... so... Just stop... toying with me."

It killed her to say any of that to him. She knew what he'd choose and as much as it hurt that he'd flirt with her one moment and push her away the next, she didn't want the flirting to stop. The times when it felt like they were a couple. The lady at the desk called her name and she stood. She looked over her shoulder once at Sebastian as she walked into the small curtained room.

Gunner bit into his apple again and pondered the second rumor that she presented to him. Finally, he shook his head, "I don't think he is old enough to be one of the elite that went after the Strigoi... Guardian Hathaway's year were the only ones allowed to go and even they were a select few... But he does have Molnija marks. I've seen them. He apparently got them at a pretty young age."

Gunner wasn't sure how he felt about molnija marks. After all, it was pretty cool to know you were strong enough to take down a Strigoi... But he didn't think there was any shame in protecting your ward and never receiving a mark. That meant you kept them safe and completely out of harm's way. He shrugged, "Maybe if you ask nicely, he'll tell you. Of course, you'd have to use the magic words."
