[ Just punching and headbutting? Strange almost instantly looks relieved. ]

That's good, [ he remarks. And then, realizing that Peridot's probably confused as hell right now, Strange decides it's probably best to explain. ]

There's a difference between wounds obtained in battle and what Lambert and the rest did. [ yup, he's heard that story ] I'm certain the Lady's probably mad about the lack of an arm thing, but that's a wound that feasibly happens in war. Plenty of people lost their limbs when I was in the peninsula.

[ It's all said in a matter of fact tone. And since that's done, Strange's expression shifts to a small smile. ] And since I don't think I've said so, it was smart of you to bring that sword.
