[It doesn't strike her as anything strange at first - it's not exactly unheard of for mages to pull something big and flashy out of their hat when they're backed up against the wall. Hidden reserves etc. Anyone who's been fighting long enough has them.
Mahariel's in the Very Important process of scratching Ser Pounce-a-lot behind the ears and telling him what a strong cat he is when she hears Anders' question. She doesn't stop giving the cat all the scritches he can handle, (as stated, this is Important,) but she turns her head to look up at Anders. His entire demeanour doesn't seem like the kind she'd expect from someone who just pulled off something he didn't know he had in him. More like someone who's just seen something he can't explain.]
o-oh mr anders
