The Head Healer is a perpetual workaholic and multi-tasker, so he spends a chunk of the day practicing magic in this new open space, where he won’t get in the way of reconstruction. Corralling other mages to practice with him, sparring with spells or flinging ever larger rocks back and forth like honing a muscle, or sending fire exploding harmlessly out into the water; at one point he does have to summon assistance to put out some of the small flames catching on one of the tents, ah fuck, sorry Benedict, someone come help —

Eventually exhausted by slinging spells, Strange takes refuge to read in the shade, brushing up on a particularly dense magical text. The sorcerer likely looks more casual than you’ve ever seen him, sprawled out on a blanket in a sleeveless shirt with trousers rolled up to the knee, trying to look relaxed and failing a little.

Throughout the day he descends on people with little jars of medieval sunscreen, golden paste mixed from some sort of tree-sap. “No, I’m not pranking you, this is real,” he explains, wearily. He has the pale look of someone who spends most of his time indoors, so there’s also smudges of lotion on his cheeks and nose. It’s not very dignified.

You can also find him enjoying some wine in the afternoon and paying keen attention to the musicians, at one point muttering to himself, “That fiddle’s a little out-of-tune.”

( feel free to wildcard, or hmu @ quadrille on discord if you wanna brainstorm; happy to do bespoke starters! )
