Strange can't help but laugh at that. It's a short, bitter laugh as he looks over at Lambert with an expression that's pure 'you've got to be kidding me.' A bad idea? Is this Lambert's dumb lack of self-esteem creeping up again? He's not going to put up with Lambert martyring himself when the answer's pretty obvious in Strange's mind.

"No, it's how I'd think. I'm the one who's plan in the Athenaeum revolved entirely around dying. It's better to die than to kill the ones you care about."

That glamour is still annoying the hell out of him so instantly after he says that, Strange starts muttering his spellbreaking incantation again.
