That works out just fine for Lambert, who’ll at least listen to Strange talking and trying to lay out all his shit here.
“Strange, the only person who expects that of yourself is yourself. You do realize that, don’t you?” This has the same shades of a conversation he’s had with Childermass not so long ago — half of him, anyway — about fear and the terrifying loneliness of believing you’re the only one who’s experiencing it.
“You think you’re the only one who wants those things?” he tries, instead. “You’re not, and you’re not the only one with all the answers. Life ... life isn’t a prophecy. You don’t always have to do something alone.” Unless you’re Jonathan Strange and your life basically is, but anyway.
