"Of course not," Strange responds, with a roll of his eyes. "I'm good at sums. Ergo, I've made myself a budget."
Reaching into his pocket, Strange pulls out his notebook. Lambert's seen this notebook before, it's full of scribbles and bad drawings, but the page that Strange flips towards looks like it came out of a different notebook entirely. It's neat: a few tables of sums, each number identified with a letter and number besides it, (T1, L3, and so on). The handwriting is legible, the notation makes sense, the percentages are added up properly...this is a damn impressive budget.
Which Strange is just going to yammer about.
"We've a certain amount that must be used for purchasing presents for others. Likewise, items are discounted if you purchase gifts. Thankfully, it's just a round ten percent discount, and there's no taxes or change involved, my budget would take up the entire notebook if I something like a luxury tax or levy on paper products was involved."
