This...isn't going anywhere. Strange looks from the shadow, back to Carly, back to the shadow again. Come on, come on, he must know some magic that could help here.
Of course, Strange realizes the person who isn't the Ringmaster who would be a bigger help is Childermass. He does have shadow magic, after all. But he doesn't really want to hear another round of 'Jonathan Strange, you bloody idiot, don't meddle with magic you know nothing about, et cetera et cetera.' So, taking care of the problem himself it is.
"I could attempt to freeze the shadow back to you. I doubt that would help as I've no idea if it feels temperature, but it's worth a shot." However, he has absolutely no confidence in that idea, as shown by the small frown on his face and the exceedingly tentative tone in his voice.
"Otherwise, I've no idea how to even attempt to reattach a shadow."
