Strange slips, landing on the ice with a solid thud. He tries to stand back up and yank Steven up with him, but considering the fact that they're both on ice, Strange's feet slip out from underneath him every few steps. Dammit! If he could just get the changeling to stay still then this would all be over.
"I can't!" Strange hisses, actual emotion pouring into his voice for the first time in this entire conversation as continues to deal with a flailing child and stand up straight on ice at the same time. Honestly, he's halfway tempted to just punch the kid, maybe that'll make the brat stop flailing. "I'd do anything Nightshade asked of me, of course I'm going to listen to her!"
Just from the tone of Strange's voice, it's obvious that Nightshade brainwashed him hard. She's so lovely, so wonderful, the fact that she would even pay attention to a failure of a magician like him, of course he'd do whatever Nightshade asked.
