It very much came across as a panicked, "Oh shit, can I actually DO that?!" and running to Asura to confirm, while she's going "Yeah, no, sit down and stop panicking and really think about this. You can't do that right now. You could, but you'd have to lose even more of who and what makes you who and what you are, which the girls love. Are you prepared to risk that just to have that power?", basically "here's the cig take a drag now that you're coughing you won't wanna take another, right? Good" lol.
