"Of course context makes it better. You're not a mage--how much did you expect to understand in the first place?"

The fact that he understood as much as he did is a miracle unto itself, to be honest.

Walking over to the coffee table, Strange picks up one of the stack of notes and frowns at it slightly. "Good Lord this is all a bit ridiculous," he complains, more to himself than to Lambert.
