[Thinking about that reply and Ayaka's follow-up for a bit and also looking at her magpie friend, who is standing on her knee with its head tilted. They're quite clever birds.]
Why not try making him jealous?
[People who were there for her confession might remember that this didn't end super well for any party involved, but maybe that's also the point.]
Hmm, good point... and the woman he cares for isn't here, as far as we know. There must be a certain kind of attention you could generate, for him or yourself alike.
[Why would you ever? she thinks, before reminding herself that women are not powerless without names or titles in so many of these worlds. They seem capable of almost anything.]
More's the point, if you get your power back, don't you think putting it toward another goal would be better?
It's magic. Just like how I could turn into an animal form if I wanted. If we could find out what his goddess looks like I could make myself look like her and tell him to knock this shit off.

[All magic is lumped into an indecipherable, mythological pile of otherness to her, though Andrew's doing her best to catch up on years, centuries, millennia, and universes of different distinctions. She's not exactly a quick study, and there's a lot that hasn't sunken in yet.]
Hmm, are you sure that's all you'd do?
[She's pretty sure he'd play a prank or two before he cut to the real chase.]
Then how would you get your powers back in the first place? You'd be looking for someone to forge that order so you could forge yours. [Maybe that's where the real tea comes in.]
