[ Look, it doesn't take a genius to realize that's the point where Strange fucked up and carelessly said something he shouldn't. After all, Childermass practically told him that much with his 'need a fellow magician' remark when Strange was battling the chickens.
It's a very tentative and slightly wary question, partly because Strange does not want to dig this stupid 'not a magician' hole even further than he's already dug it and partly because he has no idea how Childermass would react to the suggestion of them studying magic as equals. Still, Strange is at least making an attempt at an apology, just in a roundabout way. ]
