"The problem is what, there's less than five of you? Add in the carnival's tendency to get brainwashed and that means poor Childermass has to step out more often than he realizes." Because seriously, the carnival gets brainwashed a lot. It's a thing. And Strange knows it's something that's going to continue because that's the way that life is sometimes.

Still, he remains quiet for a bit as Strange listens to Tyki continue to talk. And hmm. Strange didn't know that Childermass was the one who ended up yanking Tyki back to the carnival during that manor nonsense. That's...interesting.

"I suppose it's just my luck to ask about the one person you refuse to talk about," Strange teases. Because he knows Tyki likes to talk about as much as he does.
