Serena went with him and stood outside the curtained room and closed her eyes, her hand hold her wrist tightly behind her back. She tried to just listen to the chatter of those in the waiting room over the sighs of the endorphin filled feeders. She felt sick as she tried to distract herself from how those endorphins felt coursing through her. How much she had enjoyed being bitten and even, at her lowest point, invited it. It was always when she was at Santa Cathrina's and went the day, quite irritably, without the endorphins that she thought her clearest. The night she had decided she was leaving was one of the last few days on class. She camped out at the school, despite the fact that she wasn't supposed to be there and when she felt like she could make a coherent thought, she went to the counsellor. The woman had basically started crying cursing about the poor life Serena had been living and was so proud of her for wanting to do more with her life, for seeking help. It was her, who help Serena apply to attend San Vladimir and even helped pay her way here.

She was pulled out of her thoughts by Sebastian. She was leaning against the solid 'wall' that the curtains were attached to. She pulled her head off the wall and looked at Sebastian, "Eh?... oh sì sì, sto bene. Eri rapido," She shook her head catching herself, "I am fine.... uh... you were quick," She translated.

She took a deep breath and looked around, trying not to look into any of the small rooms, "You good to go?"

Gunner looked at Anna when she asked about Gabby and smirked, "Why? You jealous?" He teased before shaking his head, "Fine... It was boring. She had study hall... So, I got to stand in a silent room for an hour.... And there wasn't a single other novice. Was almost worse than having to watch Rae and her flirt.... I know we do it all the time but... God, I don't know how Sebastian puts up with it.... I felt like my ears were bleeding."

He took a bite of his apple and shrugged, "In the end, I could have it worse... I guess," He thought about it for a moment, "You got Basil right? How's that going for you?"
