Sebastian smiled, "Sorry about that, I just know that the cafeteria is a bad idea... too many people, thoughts, emotions... not a good mix with me being so easy to unbalance at the moment..." He shrugged, "There are picnic tables near the grove. About the only people who go there are study groups and on a weekend there isn't likely to be anyone there."

He rested a hand lightly on her shoulder, "Plus I can see your aura, and Anna's. Neither of you are completely comfortable around each other right now, it's understandable. To you she's a reminder of what you went through and for her well... she's unsteady right now. Today will be good for all of us. Getting out of here, I mean."

He nodded after Anna and Gunner, "Let's grab some chow and head for the grove. I think Anna's mention of homework was just an excuse to spend some time with Gunner... Her aura hinted at as much. We could practice training though if you'd like. It would probably be a good way to distract me from my thoughts."

Anna blushed and punched his shoulder, "I'm a very diligent student, thank you... When I'm not, you know.... busy with other things... like... sleeping."

As they headed back towards the lunch room Anna smiled, "Yeah well... I'll be glad to be back. I kinda missed you Pretty Boy." She leaned up and kissed him lightly before heading to the line. "I'll load your tray, just tell me what you want and you hold onto it... That takes care of your one handed problem." She grabbed strawberries, orange juice, milk, some pancakes, sausage, bacon, and a cinnamon roll. Then, she put an apple on Gunner's tray and started filling it with things he pointed out. Once they were done she headed to the table and sat by him.

"You think Seb will be okay going to the mall?"
