Anna just stared at him in disbelief as her capture flopped on the bed and stayed quiet.  She took a step closer and eventually sat on the bed.  After continuing a long silence, Anna felt a smile curve into her lips and she watched Meiranis with a comforting and relieved expression on her face.  "Thank you....." She said quietly as she touched his hair with her hand as gently as possible.  She never realized how soft it was.   It seemed like her perseption of him wasn't as harsh as it was before now.   Maybe he wasn't as heartless as she originally had thought.
