I don't want to be kind of sorcerer, said Anya swiftly. Besides, you wouldn't... you wouldn't love me then, would you?We will always love you, said Tanitha. But you would not know that if you become like the Duke. He has grown too cold form his magic, and has forgotten what it means to love.
"I don't want to be a kind of sorcerer," Anya quickly said, expressing her desire to avoid becoming cold or detached through magic. She fears that gaining magical power might change her personality or make her unlovable." Besides, you wouldn't love me then, would you?" she added with concern.
Tanitha reassures her that they will always love her regardless. She warns that the Duke has become distant from his magic and lost his capacity for love, implying that gaining too much power can lead to emotional coldness and detachment, which Anya wants to avoid.
