[ well I mean the answer to that one is "fairy nonsense," he's not going to be rude Childermass, he'll...just ask potentially invasive questions about what their magic is like instead.

And Strange can't help but roll his eyes at that question. Asking the mirror nicely, that is just plain silly.

[ DUH, CHILDERMASS. But hey, like a child with a new toy, Strange walks around the trailer, moving the mirror to look at all sorts of other devices, contraptions, and what-not, seeing which of them are purely magic and which of them have bits and pieces of actual technology. All in all, Childermass is right: appearances are deceiving, especially so in Faerie.

All that's to say that Strange has totally forgotten about the tea.
