Gunner shook his head a little when Anna saw the burns on his arms, "Don't... I wouldn't let Sebastian heal this and I sure wouldn't let you. Battle scars... And had I been thinking... I probably would have been able to handle them all without thinking... I deserve to be a little hurt. I'll go to the infirmary tomorrow.. I think they might have managed to dislocate my shoulder," he said with a small laugh.

He looked down at her when she said his name and cocked an eyebrow. Then he felt her hand on his neck and he was pretty sure his ears were bright red. Then she leaned in and kissed him and this time, he had time to enjoy it. He managed to close his eyes for a moment before she pulled away. His eyes remained closed as she spoke. Suggesting that they be stupid and figure things out when the time came. Then she seemed to get a little shy, giving him the chance to reject her. He felt her shift on his arm and pulled her closer to him, into him. He chuckled a little, "I just beat up a group of Moroi students... Do you really think that this is something I don't want?"

His right hand rested on her back, holding her against while his left arm was throbbing basically glued to his side. He was starting to wonder how he had managed to carry Anna all the way to his room. He gave her a shy smile, "Will you.. uh... kiss me again?"

Serena laughed and shook her head a little, "Coniglietto have that charm, no?"

When he mentioned that it wouldn't hit him heavily till he was alone, Serena decided that she was going to, somehow, not leave him alone. Really, she should probably leave him with Gunner and be with Anna but she didn't know if she wanted to be around Anna. Not because of the girl but because of what the girl was going through, it was a little too close to home. Besides, Gunner and Anna had some talking to do that she didn't want to get in the way of. She wasn't paying much attention when Sebastian suddenly dipped her. She let out a small yelp before she straightened. Her free hand shot to her mouth as Sebastian kissed the back of her hand. She blushed a little as he complimented her and smiled behind her hand, "Grazie... Um..." Her blushed deepened, "Do you want to stay in my room? I do not have a roommate... and then you would not have to be alone..." If possible, she blushed a little more, flustered. She felt silly asking him if he wanted to spend the night in her room. Her room was her sanctuary. The one place where she didn't have to worry about others seeing her scars. Now, she was inviting a male Moroi into her room, which wasn't allowed to begin with, and intended to sleep. He might end up seeing them. That was a fact that shouldn't have bothered her, Sebastian knew not everything but, like Anna, he had a pretty clear idea of what had happened to her back in Italia. She bit her lip, "You... You do not have to.... I just thought... It... might make you... feel better."
