Strange looks like he's about to go off on something else entirely when Yuya grabs him and Strange stops, looking over Yuya instead. And he pauses for a moment when Yuya hugs him. Admittedly, that's unexpected. But Strange isn't so heartless as to ignore the moment. Awkwardly (and stiffly, thanks to his still healing arm), he hugs Yuya back.
"I should be strong enough," Strange repeats. He's never fully adapted to the fact that in his world, it's a big fish in a small pond sort of scenario. He should be the person to save everybody. He should be the strong person who can whip magic up out of nowhere and come in and save the day. That's what he was back home, he managed to save Arabella, bring magic back to England, summon a long forgotten figure of English magic, and help kill the fae who kidnapped her in the first place! Why the hell can't he do that here?
"I just want to go home," he whines, more to himself than to Yuya. "I don't care about the Courts or the Ringmaster or any of this...this fae bullshit. I just want to see Arabella." It's a little pathetic to admit that but hey, there it is. And now it's his turn to try and choke back his emotions and try and keep from crying.
