SYRLYA: Syr's another who is 100% a magician, 100% someone who Strange can nerd out and talk shop and be a big ol'dweeb about magic with. The fact that Syrlya just straight up agreed to a dumb magic fight made him instantly rise up the ranks in Strange's mind. If there's one thing that Strange loves more than talking about magic, it's casting magic and showing off magic. Strange cannot wait for more dorky conversations about magic, more learning about magic in Syr's world, all sorts of things like that.
Though Strange does kind of wonder just when he's going to drive poor Syrlya crazy, just because Syrlya seems like a sort of 'look at me, I am so very calm and collected, I have all my shit together' sort of person and Strange 100% isn't. As such, the likelihood that he'll try and coax Syrlya into doing something dumb is fairly high—and Strange is fairly certain Syrlya won't exactly respond well in kind. Buuuuut they'll fight that battle when they get there.
