Sometime during Macharius' speech Anika has come to a realisation about why the box seems so familiar. She likely takes a few moments too long to respond to Hannabel and only manages a nod. If there was any chance that it could help she needed to open it, and if the box was somehow dangerous there was every chance she was already affected by it. Besides, she had to know. After Felidae leaves she will follow Hannabel's suggestion and finish by opening the box.
