She only hears about half of what he says. Her mind is still on her Teacher. He's said it before: their stories are incredibly similar. More than that; they're also incredibly alike in temperament.

"Is that what I am to you?" she asks softly, carefully. "Another experiment? Just one more slave girl? Cassandra 2.0 even?"
