The mention of stopping her brought a small smile to Anise's face. It looked like they had the same opinion of the drug trials... though it was still a fact that Anise was running around, doing things that were just as dangerous, and she would've been pretty mad if someone tried to stop her from choosing that path. But even so, it was a little nice to know that the big guy cared.
