Gunner smiled when Anya seemed to give up on her plight to stand at the wall through the meal. He nodded his head, "I do. But you are fine around Sebastian and Anya, I think you'll live."

He walked over to the table with her and took his seat as she stole McKenzie from the seat next to Anya and placed the young girl between them. He smiled at her, "Don't worry. I'll protect you from Anna's insanity."

Anya was incredibly grateful when Anna and Gunner walked to the table and Anna even stole McKenzie away, allowing Sebastian took take the seat next to her. She smiled, "I think you are the last person to be teasing someone about brooding."

She took his hand in her own as he kissed her cheek. She nodded, "O-okay... It's just... all a little overwhelming."

How could it not be, his family seemed to just be fawning over her. Well, not exactly her, her name. She smiled all the same when Sebastian's parents came in and took their seats. She looked at them when they asked about her time at the Academy. She nodded, "Quite. I always love being there with everyone."

She glanced as Sebastian and smiled, "Studies are pretty simple too. The only one I'm kind of struggling with is Attack Classes," She shrugged, "Water is a pretty difficult element to help out with and I'm not strong enough with it yet to manage to freeze anything... just... move it."
