Jordan shrugged, suddenly more interested in getting to know someone who'd lived in Russia. He could remember a little bit about it, it had been a beautiful place but life had had other plans for him that didn't include living there. "Nah, I'd rather talk to you..."

He was almost always honest to the point of being rude or blunt or seeming flirtatious because he didn't see the point in saying one thing when you meant something else. "Mm... friends tend to do that," he leaned down to her as if telling her a secret, "That's why I have so few."

He straightened and shrugged, "Well Kseniya," he shook her hand. "Я надеюсь, ваш первый день был один хороший..., и что ваше путешествие прошло хорошо." He grimaced at the way he had to speak slowly and think on the words, "Sorry... it's been a while."

He gestured towards the school, "I don't know about you but... I could use a sandwich. Wanna join me? I'm sure we'll have to dodge a few Guardians on the way there but..." He shrugged with a smile, "that's half the fun."

Sebastian hesitated a minute and then sighed, "Yes... and she is... was... pretty much in denial about it. I think tonight was the first time she's let herself actually feel it and part of that was the drink. Tomorrow... well, if I know Anna, she'll act like she doesn't remember any of it and pretend nothing has changed because she'll be terrified of pulling away from her. So, unless you plan on changing your mind about relationships play along and let her believe you don't remember either."

He blinked, "Oh... here she comes. Damn, she's slammed... she actually might NOT remember it tomorrow." He hoped so, it would be so much easier on her if she didn't. Seb didn't think Gunner was going to change his mind about duty and Guardian relationships any time soon.

Anna nodded and stumbled back along with Serena, "I need to go to bed... I feel dizzy..." She leaned her head on Serena's shoulder as they walked, way too out of it to even begin to notice her scars even if she had been looking.

As they made it back to the other two Anna smiled and waved, "I'm gonna go sleep before I fall over..." She stumbled over to Seb and gave him a hug, "Don't worry... I'll make everything okay again. I promise." 

She nodded solemnly and he looked confused, "Anna... what are you talking abo-"

She put a finger against his lips, "Shh... secret."

She pulled away and hugged Gunner too, "You're my best friend... I don't wanna puke on your shoes..." With that said she stumbled to a nearby tree and out of sight, but not earshot, spilled her stomach and then leaned against the tree with a groan of misery. "Serena... take me home please... I wanna sleep."
