Somehow, Solas manages to not roll his eyes as Strange grants him permission he did not seek and has to resort to flopping on the floor. Would he even survive traveling away from his home? The elf could attempt to heal the man, but given the circumstances, he's not inclined to expend unnecessary magic toward the other man.

Instead his attention is entirely focused on what has been done to the basement and the dead woman in it. There's no singular source or style, it comes across as a frantic attempt by a desperate man with no other options. Which one look at strange confirms that to be more than correct. He wonders if it would simpler to undo the man's work and start fresh because Solas is certain he could do a far better job than trying to build off this mess.

"Where did you learn this magic?" he asks, kneeling down to get a better look at a symbol etched into the floorboards.
