There we go. He knew he could do that and he knew it would work! Strange still remains smoke as Mari walks through him, but turns back to his physically solid form right in time for Tyki to check him with his shoulder. There's a brief moment where Strange looks so amazingly smug before he takes in Childermass's angry expression and Zangetsu's angry expression. Adding that to Mari's angry expression and Tyki's angry expression and really, Strange has no idea why everybody's looking at him like that but it's damn annoying. That smug expression fades to a confused and annoyed one.

"What?" he responds, crossing his arms over his chest and letting out a little hmmph. At least in his mind, he has done absolutely nothing wrong. "His mind has been changed by a True Fae. You can't talk or punch that out of someone."

From Strange's tone of voice, he's speaking with experience and he's entirely certain of his words. "The best thing we can do for that skeleton is to take him to the Ringmaster. And the best thing for us is if he isn't kicking or screaming the whole way there."
