He comes in to take a seat. Strange's doctor's eye can probably clock that he's a bit sore, for all he's moving through it well enough. But nothing suggests he's in immediate need of medical attention.
It takes him a moment, and then he says: "I understand you wished to speak to me about lyrium, while I was gone." He doesn't emphasize the part where Strange had that conversation with a demon instead. Neither of them needs to belabor that point. "I thought, if you had a few minutes, I might put myself at your disposal. If you still had questions." If he's not exactly eager, the offer at least feels genuine enough.
