Anna really didn't even have the slightest idea how to cope with what had happened, so she was suppressing it. She didn't want to talk about it, that seemed to be what most people were doing. They saw the horrible things they saw and that was it. They were done. Anna still flinched some at shadows in the house of her friends, but she didn't talk about it anymore. Not that she'd really started to in the first place, she was just scared. She stuck close to Elsa lately and mainly and those who had been in the strange Angel house. Surprisingly to Damon, she still worried about him some times. She worried about a lot more these days than she had in a very long time.

She hadn't really been out of the house much, nor did she want to start trying now. She had been hesitant when James wanted to come by, but felt bad about not at least trying to see him. She had just finished trying to bake, but it failed miserably. Her heart wasn't in it. She left her things in the kitchen, she'd tend to them later on. All she really wanted to do was curl up in a blanket and sleep. She sank down on the couch and waited.

He got to Anna's home and knocked on the door, thinking while he waited. He could tell when he was being lied to, even when he wasn't looking at someone face to face. Anna wasn't okay, no matter how much she insisted she was. He'd lucked out and gotten sent to the Shire and more or less had a two week vacation. He knew other people had been sent worse places, and Anna was one of them. But she wouldn't talk to him about it. Or maybe it was that she couldn't. He wouldn't know until he saw her face to face.

Part of him wondered why she had agreed. Before the Seal picked them up and tossed them to other worlds they hadn't spent much time together. He had his job at the Center and the self defence classes, yeah, and he did occasionally spend time with his friends. But he'd tried to spend time with Anna and it never really worked out. Like he'd said to Kenzi, it seemed like they were dating in name only these days. But she'd agreed to see him tonight, and maybe they could attempt to try and fix things. If not...well, if not then maybe it would be better for both of them if they moved on. He'd just have to wait and see.

She got up to answer despite every bone in her body protesting against movement. She'd never really dealt with people dying. Sure her parents had died, but she dealt the best she could. Servants of the castle as limited as they were sometimes made her cookies, or the few friends she did have gave distractions. But was that really dealing? Someone she'd cared about had died in that house.

Two people had, though she'd never really gotten to know the other Anna very well. Or was it Ana? She didn't really remember. The angel in any case. Sure she might not have known her well but that was still two deaths. More than the princess had ever really had on her plate since arrival. It was her first seal thing and it was a miserable seal thing. She answered the door, looking a little worse for wear. She was a little more pale than usual, having basically stayed indoors since the incident.

"Um..hi." She stood aside to invite him in, rubbing awkwardly at an arm unsure how to react just now. She wasn't feeling the most clingy. Clingy had gotten her hurt.

He took a good look at her. She really wasn't doing well. He wanted to do something, anything, to help her. She didn't appear to want to be close to him, though. She was closed off and this didn't bode well for him actually being able to do something.

"Hey," he said, trying to give her a reassuring smile. He moved inside and waited for her to close the door behind him. He wasn't quite sure what to do or say right now. After a moment he spoke again. "Is there anything you want to do while I'm here?"

She didn't particularly want to be close to anyone at the moment so he was certainly reading that signal loud and clear. She was still worried about things and didn't really know how not to be.

Anna gave him a small smile as she shut the door and sat back down on the couch. She'd left enough room for him and everything if he wanted to sit. If not there were obviously other places to do so. "I don't know..Henry has some games around or something I think?" She didn't want to talk about the angel house. Maybe a game would be a good distraction. "He's got those board games and the tv ones." She said with a small shrug of her shoulders.

He hesitated a moment. He could sit on the couch but he wasn't sure he'd want her to. So after a minute of thinking about it he sat down in one of the other chairs and looked at her. When she was done speaking he nodded. "A board game sounds good."

He leaned forward, putting his elbows on his thighs. As soon as he spoke he wondered if it was a good idea. They needed to talk, if not about what happened to her than at least about them. But for now he supposed he'd wait and see if she wanted to talk or if she was willing to talk, and he'd wait until she broached it herself.

She took notice of it though and just sighed. Getting up to grab one of the games. But then she decided to take her time in the thick silence. Silence wasn't something she was comfortable with, and she did know the difference between a good silence and a bad one. This one felt like a bad one.

"Is..something wrong?" If he was going to tell her he didn't care either, she'd rather at least know now than later. She was getting tired of men pulling that on her. She had hoped most men were better than Hans, but now she really had no idea. Damon had confused her, the entire angel house had worried her. Things just didn't seem as bright as they were before.

He looked up at her when she spoke. This was the absolute worst time to bring this up, but it needed to be talked about. It needed to be dealt with before it got to the point where they resented each other. He cared about her and didn't want to hurt her, but if they didn't talk he thought it might turn out worse.

He took a deep breath. Hopefully he didn't screw this up too much. "You're not okay, are you?" he asked. "I don't know what happened to you but I know it wasn't good. And I want to help you but I'm not sure if I can or if you want me to."

She turned to look at him in confusion. "I'm fine. I told you I am?" Why would he bring this up? She really didn't know what it had to do with him being there. She just wanted to play a game. She set out the board game carefully. It was monopoly. Since when did she ever care about board games so much?

The answer?

Never. Yet there she was. Carefully placing all the little pieces where they needed to go without looking up. "I don't need help." She could cope on her own. Everyone else was. She wanted to also, even if she didn't have the faintest idea how. How was everyone dealing with it? They looked to just be moving on. Even Jesse who had an Angel in her eye, and Anna didn't get how. "I just want to..I don't know." Her knuckles were a little tight on the game now. Uncomfortably so.

He nodded, watching her set up the game. It had probably been a mistake to bring it up, but he had thought maybe she would open up. He should have guessed she wouldn't. But when he watched her tighten her grip on the board he thought she might talk after all.

"It's all right not to know what you want or need right now," he said quietly. "The only person who is going to be able to figure out what you need is you, and that's probably going to take time. I want to help, but part of me thinks you don't want me to help. I can give you time and space, if that's what you think will help, but I just need to know if that's what you want."

"I don't know what I want." She said a little sharply. These types of conversations were ones she wasn't very good with. She'd lived most of her life in solitude so she didn't have much preparation for them. What she did gain from it was an overly thick skin that wouldn't allow her to cry or break down in front of him if that was what he was expecting from this meeting. She was too proud for that. Even after all the death. She'd dealt with hers and Elsa's parents death in solitude and maybe that was what she needed for this. She didn't know how else to react.

"How is it okay? How is it any form of okay that I can't sleep anymore at night without the light on?" These days she kept it on to keep the shadows to a minimum. She just rubbed a hand through her hair finally and left the game alone in frustration. "Fine. Yeah, good. Space. Space is fine." She didn't know if space really was fine or not. She knew he didn't deserve her silence, but she didn't know how else to deal with it, so she agreed.

"It's not okay at all," he said. "The Seal likes to screw with people and it's not fair. It's not right. The best thing we can do is deal with the stuff it gives us however we can and then move on as best we can."

He hesitated a minute, then got up and moved next to her. "I care about you. Don't think I don't. If you decide you need me I'll be there, no questions asked. But I think you need to sort things out, and I think right now me hovering is the worst thing I could do."

She should have known this was coming. Things had been weird for a while. But it still didn't make it easier. Anna nodded as she listened. Not really sure how to handle break ups. That's what this was. He'd come over wanting to 'give her space' or something. She really didn't understand relationships after all.

When he sat next to her it wasn't like it had been before, it was different. There were no sweet words or hand holding. Just worry and concern. Anna pushed some red hair from her face, but it fell right back in vain and she sighed. "If you think so." She repeated, attempting not to sound angry or hurt or anything at all. She'd rather go out with a little dignity if that's what was going on. She was too strong headed to let him see her cards now."Maybe you should go then."

He nodded, standing up. He ran a hand through his hair. He hadn't wanted it to end like this. It was a better ending than his relationship with Ginger had gotten, but it still sucked. But really, it was the best choice. He didn't plan on going out and jumping into another relationship for a while, if ever, and if she got things settled in her life maybe they could get back together. He wouldn't mind hoping for that, at least for a while.

"If...if you want to talk, about anything, I'm still there," he said quietly. "I mean, if you don't want to speak to me I understand, but if you do need anything don't hesitate to ask. If I can help, I will." He paused, not quite sure what to do next, but he decided the best thing to do would be for him to leave. He made his way to the door and paused, hand above the knob. "Bye, Anna," he said, a tinge of sadness in his voice. And with that he opened the door and left.
