Damn that other Jonathan Strange and damn his utter stupidity! Once again, Strange tries to struggle against the vines and once again, nothing happens. Oh, he could argue that he wasn't trying to inconvenience the Summer Court, that the other man was just an opportunistic idiot who had no idea what he was getting into...but what was the likelihood that Nightshade would listen to that to begin with?

"What do you plan to do to me?"

Because doing something for cruelty's sake alone? Strange has a worrying feeling he won't come out of this unscathed.
