Having made himself comfortable as best he can on the carriage bench, Strange glances up from where he’s just spotted another smudge of ichor on the cloak. (Cleaning spells. He’d once been able to cast cleaning spells in a heartbeat. They’re frustratingly out-of-reach now.)

The corners of his eyes crinkle, a thoughtful squint at her. “Something tells me you’re talking about something else, though.”
