[ Joke's on Strange, all of those people have managed it far more often than Strange ever has. It's just it comes out as very dry sarcasm instead of, well, actually seeming bothered. ]

You already know why we did not go. [ Someone messed up. Does he really need to remind him? Anyway, he'll pace back though the trailer towards the door. ] If you plan on reading through the rest of that, I can leave you to it. I do have a few other errands to see to this evening.

I'll simply leave it on the table when I'm finished, [ Strange explains, with a nod. Because yeah, he is totally reading through the rest of that. ] That is, unless you want me to leave it somewhere else?

[ No matter what, he's gonna keep poking at Childermass's stuff and probably accidentally rearranging things in the trailer for better access to poke at Childermass's stuff. ]

The table is fine.

[ Just put it back where you found it or so help me-- uh, yeah. It's not like he won't find it again there, anyhow, and now that the older notes are safely away, there isn't anything for Childermass to worry about. Nearly everything else in here happened to be the Doctor's, not his, and a search will turn up basically nothing of interest.

He's never owned very much. That's not about to change here.

Even so, he does hesitate at the door, if only for a second or two. Then, he gives Strange a parting nod and is on his way. Now, he has a stage manager to track down... ]

[ The parting nod is met by Strange giving Childermass a little nod as well. And then, the other magician heads out.

Thankfully, Strange doesn't leave the trailer TOO much of a mess. The book's left on the table but some of the Doctor's clutter has been shuffled around, in different places. The dreamcatcher's been taken down and (thankfully) put back up.

The biggest thing is the trailer's short a few writing utensils. Sorry Strange stole a pencil or two. He'll pay Childermass back eventually hopefully. ]
