"I wouldn't presume to speak for anyone else." It seems unlikely Strange would have assumed Vanya would presume anything, but even so. "But having been off it roughly a year and a half ... it's true and it isn't. There are many things I can't do anymore that I once could. I still have to work around some of my instincts, avoid maneuvers that require abilities I can no longer access. On the other hand."

A pause. This isn't getting easier.

"There are a lot of things about my training I still use every time I'm in combat. You don't need lyrium for tactical thinking, and there's a lot I know about mages and magic that's still useful with the ability to directly counter it. It's not as if all that knowledge and experience just evaporates with the ability to Silence someone." A bit quieter, he adds, "I haven't done anything to prove it, but I also think ... my memory may be improving, a little? I can't attest to that, though, it may just be wishful thinking."
