Anna frowned as Anya walked away, "I don't think she's going to go through with it... you saw her face." She sighed, "But she needs to eat... she had those dark circles under her eyes and I bet she'll be getting dizy and light headed later."

She glanced at Gunner, "She's your Ward Gun... but I worry about her. Do you think we should try and find her someone?"

Kenzie, who was still there, tilted her head. "Mommy and Daddy say Dhampirs taste better... why wouldn't Anya want to eat?"

Anna grimaced and smothered the flash of irritation, it wasn't at Kenzie... it was at her parents. "Well, because Anya doesn't think we're meant to be eaten."

Kenzie nodded sagely and frowned, "I don't think so either... I like you and Gunnie... I wouldn't want to eat you."

Anna couldn't help but laugh.

Seb smiled at her but he registered the dark circles still under her eyes, he wanted to excuse it as she'd just missed feeding too long and it was taking her a bit to recoop... she'd had a bloody tissue after all. So, unless she'd had a bloody nose...? He pushed it aside, "Feel any better?"

He wrapped an arm around her waist and led her back towards Anna and Gunner.
