This man just walked right into the High Mage's study uninvited and began to demand answers of him? Himeka blinks.

She likes this guy's style.

"I won't pretend that isn't impressive," she says with a light quirk of her own lips. "I had thought I hadn't seen you around before...but that explains it. You were one of the chosen ones before."

That does confirm that Ambrose and the others can change their minds about the status of these newcomers. She supposes that also explains how Kay is no longer in the cell with them as well. (Though it does not lend to why Relena wasn't also released...both girls certainly deserve it.)

"Did he deign you with any responses? Or was he as much of an arse as I remember him being when we arrived?"
