Well, Strange is taking this moment to finish off his fritter. He eats faster than Pearl, taking large bites and eating more like someone who eats just to keep going than someone who eats to enjoy food.

At Pearl's statement, however, Strange raises an eyebrow. He pauses, swallows what's in his mouth, then continues.

"In that case, I hope she doesn't underestimate the work my organization is doing. For her sake."

After all, even a fae as powerful as the Rose Queen would be affected by the odd magical fluctuations and worrying omens. And while Strange doesn't exactly know how he feels about the Rose Queen...magic would certainly be more dull if she wasn't around.
