( Strange’s voice is carefully neutral: bland commentary, no longer tongue-in-cheek and taking the piss, but not suffused with cloying pity either. He’d preferred the middle-ground when discussing his own worst day.
He had started off this experiment somewhat aimless and bored in the dormitory, intrigued by the technology behind these crystals, simply intent on playing around with the new toy and getting a feel for it, plus a recommendation for drinks. But as the conversation goes on, he can feel his attention being piqued. Like something clicking into place in his mind, shifting gears, turning more serious.
Provost Stark designed. Of course he did. He’s going to have so many questions for Tony. Strange had had his own eldritch early-warning system back at the Sanctum, which alerted for otherworldly visitors, and had hollered when the Asgardians came to call and then when Spider -man’s villains came pouring through. Riftwatch’s dilemma is actually a familiar one. )

Although— I suppose it’d be hard to tell if it had happened, unless someone saw it in the moment. Or some inexplicable skeleton washed up on-shore later.
( He sounds thoughtful, contemplative, ruminating over the possibilities. )
