"A valid point," he responds, with a little grin. Strange has his theories, of course: his obsessive mind is planted firmly on the dragons. But it would be nice just to confirm that and have his ideas be validated.

And then a fuckin lion shows up? Strange can't help but look on in surprise as Shishi walks into the alleyway. Bell also sniffs the air in interest, though she soon goes right back to snuggling up to Strange, waiting for the man to start petting her.

"How interesting," he muses. "A hare would make sense. They're portable animals and can easily be passed off as pets. But you were stuck with a lion?" That's bonkers.
