It's not his operating room back in Manhattan, but Doctor Strange has been making himself at home regardless. Learning which drawers hold which equipment, what's in all the jars, how long to boil elfroot for, which herbal poultices to use for infection. Derrica's been showing him the Thedas-specific ropes, and he's repaid the favour with what he can adapt from modern medicine: rudimentary antiseptic, surgical techniques, whatever bits and pieces he can fit to Thedas. They've often fallen into a working rhythm here in the infirmary.
There had been the initial little flicker upon hearing her first message, wondering whether or not he should insist on still being called Strange; but Derrica's earned those first-name rights, particularly after Starkhaven, both their hands bloodied.
So when she walks in, he doesn't spare much for ceremony, just waves her over to the crate he's currently unpacking. "Good that you're here," he says. "I needed a set of hands to take notes on inventory."
He can't; his hands shake too much to write legibly.
