That list is ever-growing, the more quick and distracted Strange gets, lobbing potential topics into the fray. His attention is everywhere, split, accustomed to thinking on a dozen different things at once; it’s only gotten more pronounced now that they’re in the Sanctum, where a common sight might be him wandering down a hallway with a cup of coffee floating alongside him, a book hovering open at his elbow, and texting Tony at the same time.

“Also in fairness, it’s only been a little over a decade since superpowers and magic and gods went public here. So people are getting used to it, but a lot of it is still extraordinary. Just… not Sealing-Stone-extraordinary, specifically.”
