"I wasn't sure what you'd think," he says. "But I can assure you that nothing we've done so far is dangerous."
And he goes on to explain it in more detail—the words and gestures that Strange's world uses, the simple spells he's learned. How to detect magic being used, how to change the temperature of the air in little ways.
Ulla listens, calm and patient and appreciative, with occasional soft
questions or sounds of acknowledgement.
"Thank you," she tells him warmly. "I remember before Warren, and even for
awhile after him, I felt like I was walking on eggshells, just waiting for
my magic to be snatched away from me once I'd managed to get it back. I'm

And she does trust him, but she'll ask, "Do you mind if I talk to him, or
to his warden? I believe everything you've told me, but I also know magic
usually goes deeper than the first things you learn. If you'd prefer I
don't discuss it with either of them, I'll ask for a promise you'll keep me
informed as you learn."

"I promise to be more open about it," he says, "but you're welcome to talk to either of them, of course. And ... thank you. For understanding."
