Childermass jerks his hand back and, honestly, all that does is ruffle his literal feathers even more and, at Strange's comment, he can't help but reach up to those same 'changes' — the feathers, of course — and try to pat them back down. It's ridiculous and also useless, but... Well, anyway, the look he shoots Strange is anything but kind.

Because, unlike the other two, he doesn't find this funny in the least, but then again, when does anyone taking the brunt of humiliation actually agree with the humor of it? As soon as Lambert is off his lap, he'll stand and glower down at Lambert (easy to do, because he's oh so taller than the witcher). There won't be any punching, as much as Childermass might be inclined to try.

No, instead he'll make a last ditch effort to maintain some kind of dignity, meaning all he'll do is hold out a hand, grit his teeth against anything worse he might want to say, and just go, "The salve, if you will. Cleary I've taken up enough of your valuable time as you play doctor."

Yeah, he's just going to leave. If anyone was hoping for a fight, they're out of luck.
