"Mister Strange can speak for himself," Strange briefly sasses, giving Childermass a slight frown. Though he too has a few objections to this 'let's go straight to the Summer Court' plan.

"It's far too optimistic to think that the Summer Queen, the head of the Summer Court, would listen to a group of changelings like ourselves, especially ones who barely know anything about the ins and outs of fae politics. The True Fae should be the ones to actually have the meeting. If any of us come along, we should just be quiet and silent examples of Winter's horrible mutilation, how those poor changelings were tortured, and so on and so forth."

That's not getting into the fact that Strange honestly doubts anyone in the carnival would be good at keeping their composure in front of literal royalty.
