Anna smacked his shoulder and then laughed at him, "I'm pretty sure she did... looks like someone has a new nickname... right Gunnie?" She poked him in the sides teasingly and when they got outside Kenzie attacked, giving Gunner's knee a sound kick. Anna winced, that probably hurt, but she couldn't help laughing even if Gunner fell with her in tow.

Sebastian smiled as Anya started playing and he picked up the left hand, slipping his right around her as he played. He lost time as they sat there and when they finished he made a point to set and joke with her. As it moved more towards lunch, though, he figured it'd be a good idea to take her to see the gardens. "Hey... I've got something else I want to show you... if you haven't gotten tired of me pulling you around my house of course..."

He ran a hand through his hair, he was feeling kind of nervous because he was seriously considering spilling the beans on those three little words but he wanted to do it right... sweep her off her feet with it or something mushy like that. Girls liked that right? It didn't matter about other girls anymore but Anya mattered and he wanted to make at least one thing in her life a bright memory she could hold on to. The garden felt like a good place to do that... Especially right now since the last rays of sunlight were vanishing and the moon would be full right now...

He took her hand and led her out to the gardens and ran a hand through his hair, "They're prettier in the daylight but the flowers I want to show you are further in..." He guided her along and then stopped near the pond at the center, along the far edge were pale white flowers just beginning to bloom. "Ever heard of moon flowers?"" He felt corny, "Am I trying to hard? I am aren't I?"
