"I am an ifrit, a type of djinn. You would not be able to pronounce my name. You may call me "Ifrit", since it is likely that I am the only one you will ever meet," and at this she grins, showing completely normal teeth without tusks or sharpened canines. "And you followed me to my home out of... curiosity?" Summer Wind asks a bit dangerously. Ifrit sniffs her, comes closer and sniffs again. "There it shows when you're upset. You've lived some part of your life in a lamp, bottle, or gem."

In the end, however, this choice is not left open to her. Once Kanu is home and in the guest house they are sharing, there is a quiet knock on the door, and somehow Summer Wind is certain that it is the blue female. It is not always a comfort to discover that you are right. Yet, Kanu as well, perceives nothing extraordinary about her. The blue woman looks the mage in the eyes and states, "You can see me, the real me. Why?" "I don't know," Summer Wind is quick to reply. "What are you?"

She has a good disguise, apparently, as no one but Summer Wind seemed to be able to penetrate it, but her appearance is a little forbidding. The creature might also just be drawn to feed in small ways off of a greater evil at work in the city, so she and Kanu must remain vigilant. In her mage training, there was no specific mention of blue people with red eyes, but the fey and faerie come in so many varieties that it is almost a life's worth of study to learn them all. Best to avoid contact.

Then several people pass between the two and the strange female is gone, when once again Summer Wind can see that end of the plaza. While not sinister in and of itself, buying marjoram, ginseng, and lavender essence is not a threatening action, Summer Wind must ask herself, and also Kanu when he returns home from his day's investigations, what the alien woman was doing in the bazaar so near the Arcane Academy at this time when stresses within the city are climbing. Is she the evil source?

Just then a butterfly alights on the young mage's hand, so she thinks perhaps it is only a vision, as no one else seems to find the buyer's presence at all unusual. This is in spite of the fact that she is at least six feet tall, blue skinned, pointy eared, and red eyed. But this time the general implication obtained by her spirit animal is, "Trust your senses, but don't push your luck." Summer Wind wonders if she can track or follow so obviously a magical, nonhuman creature as this one is.
