Strange, at least, looks slightly sheepish under Arabella's chastising glare. "It was the quickest way to get you out of faerie and back to Venice. And really, that's what mattered the most."
Forget about himself. Forget about what he was doing, he was almost dead anyway thanks to that damn curse. What mattered was saving Arabella and oh he's just so happy that she's already been saved. (However, a nasty thought at the back of his head pipes up, she's here. How safe is she really?)
The memory fog attempts to smooth over that thought before Strange continues talking. "I signed onto the carnival in order to help free you. It helped me more than I could have ever thought."
A technical truth. Granted, the information he joined the carnival for didn't have anything to do with Arabella. But when he joined, his train of thought was learn how Lady Pole was brought back from the dead, cast the spell, save Arabella that way.
