Anna was surprised at his answer.  She had not expected him to compliment her.  She had expected something along the lines of that she was dumber than the rest of te sacrifices or that she was an inferior creature to him.  But he went the other direction entirely and he actually caused her to feel a little better about herself. She had been the first to stand up to his might.  She was probably also the first to last this long and still have some fight in her.<br/><br/>"Oh......well I would think I wouldn't be the FIRST to try to rebel" she said.  But inside she was secretly proud of her accomplishment as the first.   She moved closer to Meiranis as she tried to read him, but failed.  "Is that why you've kept me alive and in such good condition?  Cause I'm different?" She asked as she was eye level with him as they sat in te bed, only a foot apart from each other.
