It's a testament to Strange's petty stubbornness that he takes the time to count out all the strokes so far. 3 + 3 + 4 versus 1 + 6 + 3....goddammit that's ten for both. "Technically we've tied," Strange grumbles, audible enough for Peridot (and unfortunately Susan) to hear.

"I think it'd be a good idea if the two of you left the building," Susan remarks, in a tone that implies 'if you don't leave the building, I'll make you leave.'

"We'll leave," Strange agrees. Because he's also realized that they're going to get their asses tossed out of here and it's better if they leave willingly than be forcibly ejected. "Come on, Peridot," he states a bit insistently.
