kingsroads: (GIVE IT UP FOR MAGIC)

Oh. Make one of you his soldier. Not you specifically. Whoops. That's a valid question, though, and Strange frowns as he tries to think back and remember the details of the conversation.

"One of us had to offer ourselves up or he'd attack our party," Strange explains, but in a halting tone, as he's trying to remember the specifics. "So that would mean he was also fine with not attacking our party. But I saw what he did to Lambert and the rest during the rescue mission—he could have easily killed us all where we stood."

But he didn't. But he could. And for someone as show-offy as Strange is, the idea of having magical power but not using it is a little bit confusing. Granted, he's thankful that they all didn't get charbroiled where they stood. But again, why didn't they? Did Ignatius not want any collateral damage? Did Ignatius not want to hurt anyone to begin with?

One thing's for certain: Strange is not vocalizing that line of thought to anybody else except Yuya (and possibly Ignatius himself).
