[ ayaka returns the question with one of her own. this is not because she lacks her own opinion, but because she figures that there's something that andrew wants to tell her. could it be that she might know some thing, or is this simple guesswork? ]
Before I woke up in bed with you [she does have to put it that way, yes], I swear I heard the chiming of a clock. Then again, when he called us to meet with him, they rang again, all throughout the palace.
[As evidence goes, it's circumstantial - speculation only. For all that people have bizarre curios and collections and fascinations with owning stupid pretty things, a room of clocks that respond to the very call of their host does seem funny to her.]
I'd be lying if I didn't say that he isn't suspicious...
[ really, when andrew puts it that way, it makes sense to ayaka. sure, she defended him, but it wasn't out of a desire to help him. there was a far more selfish reason to it-- she simply didn't want to see any more violence than she had lived through those past few days. ]
But if you're right, then isn't this an even worse situation? We'd be in the palm of the hand of a crazy mage for god knows what reason.
[readers they were in the palm of the hand of a crazy mage for god knows what reason]
We've no idea if he's mad. He could just be holding things from us. I'd rather madness than someone who was playing a cruel game.
[Sane men are the ones who lead armies to conquer nations and hold people under their thumbs. There are many more things that can drive a man crazy.]
I heard they're another kind of magic - clocks and time - but how am I supposed to know about any of that? All I can think is that we might already be running out of it.
