"I should return before dark, or not long thereafter," she said, and kept her face covere as she went out; she could with very little effort look perfectly passably human, legs and all. Most of the time she barely had to think about it. Technically Sooraya didn't have a physical body, not the same way a human would, but few people knew that. Few people at all bothered to try learning much about djinni other than the rumors that spread from people unhappy that they weren't granted wishes. Or whose wishes hadn't turned out the way they wanted.

She wandered for several hours, merely exploring the city, though she did make it to the docks and the markets, collecting a good number of stares and questions along the way for her dress--it being far more suited to the desert than the coast. About an hour after sunset she came back, wisps of hair curling free of her veil and smelling like saltwater as she looked around the shop, taking in what the front of it looked like. Sooraya picked at the colorful golden bangles around her wrists as she explored, rubbing her skin where the thicker bracelets--manacles, really, but they were elegantly worked--sat and chafed.

"Shaun?"

"In the back!" He called from his workroom. "Through the beaded curtain."

Sadly, he wouldn't have much good news for Sooraya. The magic was difficult to untangle. The man who cast it was very good at his imprisonment. He needed more time to unravel the layers of magic. Possibly a lot of time.

However, he did have some good news for her. She'd have something to do while waiting for Shaun to work his magic.

She stepped through the curtain gently, stilling the swing of the bead strands with a wave of her hand. "Your shop is lovely," she says. "And the city is too. What happened here, though?"

"Thank you. I've put a lot of work into it over the years." Shaun gestured for her to sit down at another stool in the workshop. He didn't usually have many visitors back here.

"Besides selling to the lovely adventurers of Emon? Not terribly much. I did get you a position with my friend Allura to help in her library, if you'd like it." It would be very simple work but it would still be work for Sooraya if she wanted it.

"And your bottle will be more of a challenge than I thought. It'll take time, my apologies."

[x_coriare]

"You don't have to apologize," she said lightly, sitting down and unpinning her veil. "I'd very much like having something to do, and I quite like libraries."

The mention of the bottle's enchantments being difficult was, sadly, not much of a surprise. "I thought it woul take more time than...just one day."
