[ As the conversation continues, Strange blinks a little. Yes, there must be a market for magic. But...house calls? Like a physician or a dressmaker? That is possible, of course, and to have magic so widespread that people could make house calls is a net gain for the world...
But there's something in Strange's bearing that is a bit repulsed by the idea of house calls. He can't explain why entirely. Maybe it's because he's used to working for lords and kings. Maybe because even though he wants magic to be accessible to the masses, that by bringing magic back to England he did just that, there's a little part of his mind that believes it shouldn't be him who takes house calls. Going from someone who could reshape rivers and conjure up fantastic images to someone who does laundry or fixes roof shingles feels...demeaning.
Which it shouldn't. He did base sort of magic in the peninsula, creating roads or removing trees. But there's still something about this that sits poorly in Strange's mind.
He absolutely is not going to examine why he feels like that. Recognizing your own biases and classist tendencies are for losers!!! Instead, he gives Marc a wry smile before pointing out, ]
I would have to be very specific on what sort of house calls I take. I still have trouble with my 'cell phone', I'm certain this world has other technological marvels I don't know about that are regarded as commonplace.
