I play board games, and there are times when I see options for another player that they are overlooking. Options that would benefit them but at an increased risk, or which would also benefit me, and I would sometimes be accused of only offering advice when it benefits me. Well, I’m not going to offer unsolicited advice that would be detrimental to me (unless I’m teaching them how to play the game, in which case the goal is to make them good enough to challenge me), but I see nothing wrong with suggesting doing something that helps me as well as them. In one instance, I had discovered a trick in a game that could make a battle more fun by delaying the finishing blow, when the odds were in my favor, so that I could inflict more damage on the opposing player. There was a risk that the opposing player could get lucky and win the battle themselves, but chances were better that they would lose and be in a worse position than if I ended the fight at the first opportunity. Plus, I got to blow more stuff up. A friend was winning a battle with someone else, and I suggested he keep the fight going because it would be more fun. “You just want me to lose” was his response, but I convinced him to try it. After winning, he admitted it WAS more fun and thanked me.
I feel like Lucky is in a similar situation. What she is suggesting to Amy would benefit Lucky, so it’s understandable for Amy to be suspicious. (I think it would be more suspicious if Lucky were to suggest something that didn’t appear to be beneficial to Lucky.) It would also reverse the loss of Amy’s magic that was caused by Lucky, benefitting them both and probably would leave Amy better off than before she lost her magic. It also increases the risk for both of them. Amy could make things worse, or decide to oppose Lucky in the future.
