A longer, even louder fight, at that, and one that really shouldn't be had in the Summer Court. That Strange threw everyone else away for a scrap of respect from someone who kidnapped him is not a concept Childermass can ever grasp, nor does he want to. If anything, it stands are further proof that Strange never actually cared for him in the first place, that it's all so superficial.

Not that what Strange says instead makes him any less displeased.

"If that's your attempt at being humble, it's a poor one. Everyone is going through with this farce because they do want to change things and you're no different."
