"The end reward is worth whatever I go through," Strange mutters, more to himself than to Childermass. Because really, that's true. No matter what sort of nonsense or confusion he goes through in this world, the end result is that he will bring Arabella back and they will be together again.

Strange stops fiddling with the mirror for a bit as he listens to Childermass's theory. That...does make sense. There's so much magic that it simply leeches out into them. "If it takes so much magic to move this place, one wonders why it doesn't stay put. Of course," said with a shrug, "it would be an awful carnival if it didn't travel."
