He knows Tyki means it as a compliment. But an uncertain frown passes over Strange's face as Tyki mentions he'd be a good Harbinger. Been there, done that, don't really want to do it again. "I know how I act while enthralled," he explains, with a little frown. "At the end of our stay in Portland, I was in Nightshade's thrall. I know just how effective I would be and I never want to be that effective again."

It's all said in a matter of fact tone. Strange never wants to get into a mental place where the attempted murder of his friends could come to him so easily as it did when he was enthralled.

He's still in a bit of that mental funk as Tyki continues talking, explaining what he's been up to and what he's been stealing. It's easier to steal things when there's mass chaos than it is to talk someone out of something. "I'm sure you'll think of something," Strange concedes, with a little shrug. Thieving isn't his strong suit! Everybody knows that! "After all, there's a few odd things about the Harbingers and Guardians. Sometimes it's like people won't even notice them."
