"I'm not in the business of rescuing changelings. If this wasn't Childermass, I wouldn't bother." Harsh? Yes. But true? Maybe. Strange would like to think that's true but he's honestly not entirely sure what sort of man he is anymore.
"The Rose Queen needs her changeling son in order to complete the ritual to remove the Severing. It wouldn't surprise me if the Count of Crows wanted to do the same--that's Childermass's dad, by the way. Likewise, powerful magics are preventing me from summoning or scrying on Childermass, and the only beings in Portland with power enough to block my summoning spells are the true fae."
A part of Strange realizes that's an immensely egotistical thing to say...but it's also kind of true.
