Susan's mood is contagious. Stepping out of the puddle, Strange matches Susan's huge grin with one of his own. Because this? This look of amazement mixed with wonder is exactly the sort of feeling he gets whenever he sees impressive magic in the first place. Astonishment, excitement, and then a strong desire to learn how to copy it himself.
"Back in my world, there is a series of faerie roads behind the mirrors. Unfortunately, there aren't any of the roads behind the mirrors in the carnival, so I've helped modify the spell to travel from reflection to reflection. I prefer mirrors but puddles can do in a pinch--perhaps one day, if I figure out how, I could even use the rain itself as a doorway."
Strange takes a few steps towards Susan, so that he's not standing right next to a damn puddle anymore. And really, that tone of excitement in Susan's voice only firmly cements what Strange decides to do next. "I know that different worlds have different strains of magic--there was some magic in Portland that I couldn't even think of performing now. But if you wish, I'd be happy to teach you the spell I use to travel. Perhaps we could modify it in a way that would best fit your magic?"
He has no idea how English magic would mesh with Susan's magic, but there's no harm in at least giving it a try. Likewise, Strange knows that Lauren probably won't like that he's offering this. But who cares what Lauren thinks in the first place?
