Anna felt butterflies dance around in her stomach as she smiled back at him tiredly, "I know... It's just going to take a while to shake off feeling so..." She grimaced, "I hate the word but it's true... vulnerability isn't really my thing. I don't like it, I don't like feeling that way. I hate feeling like I can't trust myself." She kissed his cheek, "Therefore, you're just going to have to be my rock."

She chuckled at his mention of Serena, "I bet it was adorable seeing her sock you one in that bunny outfit. Plus, she's so small... you wouldn't think she'd hit so hard but I've seen her in class. She's scary good."

As they walked Anna caught sight of Seb and Serena too, it was kinda hard to miss them. Seeing how nervous Serena was made Anna feel guilty for even having considered asking the girl about the bites... it also answered her questions. Anna was sure that Serena had had it way worse than her for longer but the fact remained... she still felt like she'd slip if pushed... Hell, she looked like she might. Anna bit her lip and tucked her hair behind her ear, suddenly feeling awkward around the other girl. However, her mood seemed to lighten somewhat when she talked to Gunner.

She caught Seb eyeing her carefully and again felt self-conscious, she was sure her aura was a ton of different colors right now... mirroring her own inner struggle. After a moment, his eyes slipped to her hand in Gunner's and despite the momentary worry that had flitted across his face he smiled. "I see you two have graduated to a new level in your relationship."

Anna smiled sheepishly, "Don't go planning weddings yet Seb, we're just taking it a step at a time... no pressure right?"

He held up his hands, offering peace. "Fair enough... I'm just happy that you two are back to normal, so to speak. Your auras were... frankly a little scary... Alright, a LOT scary on Gunner's end. I thought he might commit murder soon."

She punched Seb in the chest lightly, "Shush you... I'm starved... I need food. How about you guys?" She squeezed Gunner's hand, "Plus it's a weekend... how about we see if we can't get off the grounds for a while. I want a burger and fries so badly that I can taste them." She leaned her head against his shoulder...

Sebastian shrugged, "Sounds like a plan to me... So long as we stick to daylight. Even though there haven't been anymore reported attacks close to this area it's still better to be safe than sorry." He grimaced, "I just sounded like Gunner... no offence."
