"Oh, I know precisely where they're kept in storage." Strange can't help but smile a little. "I can show you sometime later, if you wish." Because yeah, asking for things? That's silly, why not creep around in storage and see where things are being kept and steal a couple of them that way? It's probably a good thing that the carnival didn't have an Acquisitioner for a while because yeah, Strange just straight up stole some supplies for himself.

No, this is just one of his quirks, him being difficult about the candle because it's the purpose of the thing (and that it's a really nice candle in the first place!)

Still, now that they're off the lake, time to actually start melting the thing. Thankfully, it's a lot easier to clean up something than it is to make the mess in the first place. Closing his eyes, he mutters a brief spell, gesturing towards the lake. The ice and snow start to melt. It's as if someone reversed video of snow, as the ice and snow float back up to the clouds before vanishing entirely. Strange is still facing the lake, concentrating and watching, but he's able to make a little bit of conversation.

"It'll be a while to get all of the carnival cleaned up, but I'm certain I can do it."
