And Strange can't help but give Shima a wry little smile. He never was one to keep things to himself to begin with but for some reason, being in the carnival has only exacerbated his distrust of lying and keeping secrets. Might as well leave everything on the open.

"He doesn't know where it is or how to get it back. I promised him I'd keep a look out for it." Of course, that was Strange just desperately trying to gain some leverage and find a way to convince Ignatius to forget the arrangement between them. Now that the contract is going to be broken when everybody returns to the carnival in relatively one piece...Strange is still probably going to look for it.

He knows the Ringmaster can't keep Ignatius forever. And he wants Ignatius to actually trust him. What better way to gain Ignatius's trust than to find out about the Heart? Besides, Strange still hates the idea of stripping away something so essential as the core of Ignatius's magic.

"So yes, I am planning to tell him what I find. It's not a secret," Strange remarks, with a simple shrug. "He deserves to know what's happened to his Heart."
