[And yet Stephen pinches his brow with this new information, wondering if it’s worth it, indeed. His thoughts align with Yen’s — they were on unstable ground from the day they arrived here, especially within the walls of Thorne castle, where politics set the foundation at any given moment, keen to shifting and cracking when a change in power rumbles across the stage. It seems that point’s on its way; and to him, they’re to be considered fortunate that they have any warning at all.

He doesn’t add his opinion on whether he should flee or remain. It’s frustrating, the idea that he might be uprooted at the behest of someone else’s political maneuvering, but he sets that thought aside for now to try to look at this rationally.]

Unfortunately, this is the kind of warning that we can’t ignore, even if it isn’t legitimate. I’d rather risk it being a trap than being real and turning a blind eye to something we could have prepared for.

[Stephen Strange, after all, always opts for the option to control the situation in any way possible.]

Who do you think the mule could be?
