Can we go back to hugging and not to calling Strange out about his failures? Strange almost instantly swaps from soaking in Reira's praise and compliments to being a little sheepish at the fact that this bonsai tree is now massively huge for a bonsai.

"I overestimated my magic," Strange admits. It's obvious he doesn't want to say this, but he's doing so anyway. "It's been acting up lately, so I've been running a few tests."

And by 'it's been acting up', Strange means 'I almost set my goddamn trailer on fire.' Plants are a safer test to run than flames.
