Anna felt Gunner take a seat and groaned at his words, "Don't remind me..."

She lifted her head but had yet to actually look at him, she was trying to act normal and turning twelve different shades of red wasn't normal and she would if she looked at him. Unfortunately, she remembered everything from the night before... including nearly kissing him. The only thing that had saved her had been the urgent need to vomit that had faded once she'd gotten up and wandered off. Then, of course... there had been Anya. She didn't remember things like conversation but she remembered the big things.... and seeing their best friend as a Strigoi and almost kissing Gunner were big things.

She wasn't quite sure how she'd gotten back to the room, probably Serena since she'd been there when Anya had shown up and that was the last thing she remembered very clearly. She peeled the banana and eyed it momentarily. Her stomach REALLY didn't want anything but she knew if she wanted to feel better anytime soon that she needed to eat small amounts and drink water as much as possible. She took a bite and then finally felt up to looking at Gunner. She glanced his way and smacked his shoulder lightly, "How come you don't feel as bad as me? Some kind of muscle mass thing? I remember you drinking just as much as me..." She furrowed her brows, "I think... I don't remember much after drink number four..."

This was how she was going to play this out... Yup. If she pretended she didn't remember anything and Gunner did then he wouldn't feel so bad... If she pretended she didn't remember and he didn't either well... problem solved.

Beside her Sebastian snorted and she turned and eyed him warily, he shrugged and turned to Serena as she approached. Obviously, her aura this morning was giving her away.

Seb grinned, "Your right... what on earth was I thinking. They'd look much better on you," he teased. He handed them back to her and then chuckled, "Suffering for their sins. Only I'm allowed to drink that much."

Anna glowered at him, "After all the times we nursed you through your hang overs you'd think you'd have a little mercy..."

Sebastian patted her head, "Empathy has never been my strong suit..." He frowned thinking of Spirit when it pulled at him to heal something, actually his palms were itching right now to fix his friends. Healing a hang over though was sooo not worth the blow back so he rubbed his hands on his jeans instead. "Okay... maybe it is, but not by choice."

He looked at Serena, "What happened last night... You were happy when you left to find Anna, when you came back you looked miserable... Did you two fight?"

Anna blinked, "Yeah... I was pretty drunk. I yelled at her a little when she told me to go back to you guys... something about not acting like my mother." She turned to Serena, "I'm sorry about that by the way... You don't act anything like my mother and you were just looking after me."

She felt bad for lying but Serena needed a cover and if either of them said anything about Anya... well... things would go down hill fast.

Seb arched a brow, "I thought you didn't remember much after drink number four?"

Anna looked back at her banana studiously, avoiding his eyes, "Yeah well... that's one of the things I remember."

Seb smiled as if he was a cat who'd caught a canary... and Anna felt like it, "What else do you remember?"

She glared at him and answered snappily, "Not much."

Seb raised his hands in surrender, "Okay okay, don't eat my face... Hey Serena, do you mind if we stop by the feeders after this?" As if realizing what he'd asked he back tracked, "I mean... you and Gunner or Anna could trade Wards for just a few... You don't have to come if you don't want... or you could stand outside..."
