Ashes to Ashes

All that mattered to little Anna was Sebastian and Ceara in those moments surrounding everyone's greeting. After Damon was reestablished in her memory and back at the newly turned vampire's side she returned her attention to the pair lingering there. The delicate way in which Sebastian rested his hand at Ceara's back wasn't missed by Anna. The gesture truly innocent though holding more familiarity than one would show with a stranger. The bond between them, though Anna didn't understand it, due only to their shared experience with the child vampire. Anna was insistent on pulling Crishlyn to introduce her to those she considered hers, especially Sebastian. There was a sudden...feeling, that Anna couldn't quite comprehend the moment the Englishman gave his quick retort of reply, declining the very idea of living with Crishlyn and herself. Anna faltered, those icy blue eyes staring up at Sebastian, unsure what to make of the flare of perhaps anger, confusion,...and sadness? Perhaps the use of his ability on her so much throughout their time in Geneva had created more of a draw to him than he had wanted.

The child vampire shifted back away from the pair into Crishlyn's side as her fractured mind worked on how to process the information. Very little could hold her attention for very long and this new fluctuation of feeling was no different; Anna's attention span was waning which was never a good thing. It was perhaps lucky that Crishlyn had ensured that the child vampire had been well-fed before attending the event; at least she wasn't looking to hunt and was only bored. Her attention drifted to fully take in her surroundings seeing as the sight of Sebastian and Ceara had distracted her from doing so before. The vampire had been in the bar once before and hovered about the perimeter many times but had never really paid attention to the interior. Was someone talking?

Anna's attention slid away from the plush booths and the smooth wooden tables back to Isolt who was apparently beginning her speech. It wasn't exactly very entertaining either in all honesty, at least not to her, but it seemed she was asking the group a question. Anna hadn't expected anything so when Ceara spoke up about not allowing her in the coven it flared that easily stoked anger. She Crishlyn's hand upon her shoulder in silent request to steady her obvious displeasure. Whether it was Crishlyn or the fact that Anna wouldn't harm her 'possessions' was hard to say. Why Ceara would tell her she couldn't be there was confusing to the fractured child but it caused her gaze to swivel from the brunette to the red. "I'm...not going..anywhere." Her narrowed gaze dared the newly turned woman to disagree as her hands clenched, teetering on the edge of keeping her ability on hold from lashing out at the redhead should she agree with Ceara.

"You want me to stay." Anna spoke firmly, that softened narrowed gaze rounding on Sebastian now. Surely he would not agree with Ceara. It wasn't like there was an option, not with both of them being in this supposed coven; Anna would never leave without a fight now... At least for now Anna remained still, waiting and watching to see who may voice their opinion on it once Crishlyn promised to keep everything in check.
