Strange nods. Winter working with the Huntsman, the Mother of Invention brazenly experimenting on another fae, both Courts teaming up to discredit and destroy the Ringmaster, various carnival members all touched by various forces greater than themselves...god, how Strange desperately wants to just leave this all behind and flee back to Arabella. But the more he thinks about it, the more obvious it is that he can't. Not yet, at least.

"I agree," Strange nods. "Winter doesn't have a Maiden. If the Summer Queen and Maiden act in tandem, they could tip the scales. But the problem here is that I doubt the Summer Maiden will do anything to begin with. Not unless her hand is forced...or someone already in her good graces asks her to."

As Strange talks, he looks over at Yuya. It's apparent that he's thinking of Yuya and the favor he holds from the Summer Maiden as a way to actually push her into action. But even Strange knows they can't guarantee or focus entirely on that.
