"Hey, welcome to the party. Can be a fighter if I have to, but probably better researching."
Well. Can he be much of a fighter anymore? If he can't always even hold his sword with any consistency. Which maybe is appropriate, given the awkward pause and the realization that the change in him has been noticed.
Mobius smirks, a little sardonic. "You haven't missed anything." He himself hasn't missed Strange's fingers, but he hasn't asked. Yet. But now that the subject is broached... "I went on a mission, after we met, and came back changed."
That's a good way of putting it, he thinks. Changed. He sets his drink down and tugs a glove off with his teeth, holds it out. It's still a change he's getting used to, and he does hate it. But if it gets them closer to the end goal, then...it can't be so bad, can it? "I can't feel my hands now. At all. Ends right at my wrist. I can still move them from muscle memory, it's all still there, the working parts, but I can't feel the pressure, how hard I'm holding anything. Can't feel temperature either, which is why it's been insisted I wear gloves before I burn myself more." And there are, little spots of healing skin from various cuts and burns.
"Don't think anyone's going to find out a way to reverse the magic of the ancient elves, so I'm probably stuck like this."
