Are you certain you're ready to play in the big leagues, Tony Stark?

[They smile, but they do not move to blow a kiss or otherwise. Oh, they're charmed, for sure. From the beginning they decided they would allow him to do so, which they know he's not expecting. It's not what Strange would have done.
But there's things to learn here as well. All the loopholes Tony has left for Loki to escape into.]

Someone who knows how to resist it.
And you seem like you know your way around this bullshit.

Technically yes.
no subject
what have you and strange been doing so far? i don't want to retread old ground.
no subject
Nothing out of the ordinary.
[ Uh huh... ]
I've mostly just been trying to get past his mental defenses at this point.
And he taught me how to do his shield thing.

Charm me.
[It's a challenge. They want to see what he'll do, especially after how he charmed Thor.]
