Well this was a little unexpected. Strange's face doesn't do anything to hide the fact that Childermass is apologizing to him. Shock and surprise are plainly visible before his expression shifts to a small smile instead.

"Thank you," he says, still a little shocked. "And I am sorry if I became needlessly difficult at the revelation of some secrets which, as you both have rightfully pointed out, were never my business. I...I do not do well with loneliness, even if it is only perceived." Says the dude who went bugfuck crazy when his wife died. Strange quickly amends, "But that is not an approval of my actions, just an explanation."
