Gunner took a deep as Anna spoke. He was mad at her but more so at himself. He could have been Moroi or not care about being a Guardian. Any of that would mean he could kiss her right now. Of course, he couldn't. He wasn't even too pleased with her talking to him, even if for the most part he really liked what she was saying. She was about to say something about Jace when he popped up behind her, god this guy was really annoying. He started to talk about Anna being a catch as he doubt of having a chance. Gunner smirked, "You wouldn't." Anna excused herself and Jace followed her. Gunner was left back to seeing but not seeing. He only felt a little better about what happened. Anna liked him and he was the ass that was keeping them apart. Then to add to it, he hated this Jace guy and didn't want him anywhere near her... He wasn't sure if it was just Jace though. He'd probably hate any guy who tried to flirt with Anna. He wanted to be with her, but couldn't, but he didn't want anyone else to be with her. He was a grade A douche. ~ Basil looked up from her book when Anna returned, "Hey! Did you know that putting water on burns is actually pretty helpful? Too bad my element is earth." ~ Serena was a little stunned when he called her pretty. She bit the inside of her lip as he stabbed the dummy and failed. She smiled at him and shook her head, "You didn't," She walked over to him and pulled the stake out. She looked at him, "I think that a Strigoi will do more than hand you your.... um.... ass." She placed the stake back in his hands. She took one of his arms into her hands, "You aren't aiming right... Since you don't have the strength that Dhampirs do, aim is very important. She moved his arm so that the tip touched where he should be aiming. She moved his arms through the movements, one at time then stepped back as he went to stake it, "You be pro at staking when you try it on me, promise." She waved her hand, inviting him to try and stab the dummy again.
