[Andy grimaced slightly. This bit was important if he decided to permanently put a block - even if 'temporarily' - on Kuja.]
...if I do end up having to permanently suppress Kuja's powers. It takes a lot out of me. As in, I'll be unconscious for over a day or two. So, y'know. I'd appreciate it if you could drag me somewhere where I won't get rained on, or eaten by the local wildlife.
The reason it takes so much out of me is because of the permanency of it. When I'm just passively negating, or doing temporary suppression, it doesn't take much effort. It's like, the... spiritual equivalent of chopping someone on the back of the neck to hit a pressure point. Like this.
[He demonstrated, doing a little chopping motion - sharp and fast.]
See? No effort. But doing it permanently... it's hard to explain. You're like, rewiring them or, trying to divert the natural rhythm of their powers. It takes more focus and effort to do, and it's more difficult the stronger the person is.
[But, again, Andy had quantified infinity itself. It made him wonder if that meant, theoretically, his own powers were beyond infinity. His powers were rather odd, though, in that it naturally scaled against whatever force it was pushing against - it was always that little bit stronger, no matter what.]
So, yeah. Glad to hear you'll help me out if I have to put Kuja into timeout. That's one worry off my mind...
[ It was a temptation to say that it might be best simply to kill Kuja again the next time Brahne surfaced. There wasn't much of a toll to be had there, save that Yuri would have to get increasingly creative in order to get the job done, or involve others in it, but it would just be delaying the inevitable once again.
Ideally, they'd just free his little guest and let her soul move on. It would be the right and proper thing to do, to allow the dead to rest. But they didn't have a way of extracting Brahne, and their options were limited. ]
I'd like to think that nobody would just...leave you to the elements. [ He'd like to, but he wasn't the trusting kind. ] If this situation comes to that, to using that much energy, then the least I can do is look after you. The best I can do is just resetting the clock.

[ That sounded rough, and like a last resort. Andy's power, while convenient, demanded a great deal out of him. ]
Obviously I wouldn't let something like that happen to you. That'd be downright callous.
