"He is not an ifrit," comments the blue woman, as though making small talk. "Male ifrits tend to have tusks and drool a great deal." "I see," says Summer Wind. "I don't know much about the customs of the fey, but I can tell that Ji is interested in you, in some way." "We are not like you. We are much more solitary in nature," Ifrit states, "or at least I have always been so. I have been content. It seems... risky, this friendship. Does it hurt?" "It can. But it's worth it for the joy."

Ji is a wonderful host, and manages to make Summer Wind feel less like a rare specimen being examined, and more like a guest, than she would have believed possible. He speaks to her of things she finds commonplace, yet to Ji are somehow remarkable: her family and friends, and how she maintains her relationships with these individuals. Apparently this adds to what Ifrit is mulling over, since before they reach home, the djinn woman says, "Ji wants to be my friend, you think?" "Yes, at least."

"Consider that he has done all of this for you, simply because you asked it. Perhaps you are more than tolerable," says Summer Wind, letting the subject drop. The fey who attend the feast are delighted with Summer Wind, largely because those who were not prepared to be enchanted by her did not stay for dinner. She eats as daintily as she can, which, being raised in her father's fortress, is very delicately indeed. They also find it charming that she calls her blue companion only "Ifrit".

"They know. Some of them eat also, mainly fruit or sweets, but you will be offered pastry of some sort. Do not drink anything but water, however. Faerie liquor is, for a mortal, incredibly strong," advises Ifrit. "Is the fey with the purple hair our host?" Summer Wind surmises. "Yes, that is Ji. Even I do not know his full name, since it is extremely secret." The human woman is conscious of a role reversal, but says anyway, "He likes you, you know." "Ji? I suppose I'm tolerable to him."
