at the thin wail of a violated ward, ruba closes her book. she almost glad for an interruption. the alarm is a soft keen, more like a forewarning of approach than any indication of threat. rahab, dozing at her feet, is unperturbed as ruba stands and carefully steps around the hound.
"can i help you?" she shelves the book on the way out of the small back office.

faelhaebun isn't interested in humans generally, but this one is interesting. this one works with those like her, from the Other Place, bottles them up into weapons and the like. wil has come a few times and she always tags along.
when the girl walks out, fae is laying in the air. perks of being a djinni, no need to stand. "maybe," she says. "are you working on anything?"
@ruba did u have fun spelling faelhaebun |

as if hyperconscious of the levitating djinni, ruba's fingers trail the walls as she walks. when she stops, she leans against a table, giving faelhaebun a smile. she is a djinni more powerful than should be bound, and she is remarkably calm about this.
but, ruba figures, she has time.
"the usual." absently, she glances at the bottles lining the workshop shelves, filled with smoke, twisting and writhing and striking against enchanted glass. "but," she sighs. "i have a few personal projects."

she sits up, legs crossed, leans forward, interested; personal projects sound more entertaining than 'the usual'. "what are these personal projects?" she asks. "can i watch?" though she'll stick around either way, watch the magic happen with wide eyes and peaked interest.

"they're still... conceptual." she replies, wrinkling her nose. there isn't much to go from but instinct, which is watery and vague. but she notices the way fae has leaned in, perked up, and ruba feels the need to keep her interest.
but she doubts a djinni will mind a little treason. "i'm curious. before all this," she waves a hand around the shop. "were you ever drawn to the plane? not summoned, maybe... enticed?" it isn't entirely the word she's looking for, she wrinkles her nose.

conceptual, boring. fae leans so far back into the air she spins once and then re-assumes her laying position. no effort for boring things.
she raises an eyebrow at the question. "this place is good for snacks, that would be the only reason i come," she says. "but it is not home, uncomfortable."
there is no sentimental value in the Other Place to her, but it's what she knows. it is comfortable. she is a hunter, this plane is the woods where her prey live, but the Other Place is where she stays to cook the meat she' gathered from her hunt. "are you ever enticed by the Other Place?"

she laughs, shaking her head a little. it isn't entirely the way she meant the question, but faelhaebun is entirely a different demon than the one ruba is seeking. isn't that all this is, at its simplest - trying to summon a demon with no name on different terms? "i suppose benevolence is an entirely human concept?"
"i'd be lying if i said i wasn't, ever." ruba's gaze drifts to a potted plant that sits still on the shelves among the spirits trapped in their murky and colourful jars. "i'd probably go mad there. it seems noisy." even from here, she's overwhelmed by what she can make out of the further planes.

"no," she says. "there are some, like me, who know of kindness. they are uncommon yes but, not unheard of."
faelhaebun floats, as if the wind the carrying her but there is no breeze bellowing through the room. it's just her and ruba, and the racket of those trapped in little bottles. "you would get used to it," faelhaebun says. "it dies down in your ears as you spend time there, becomes nothing more than static in the back of your head."
fae lowers herself, meets ruba's gaze. serious, unfaltering, "i will take you one day, if you are interested."
she's got a smirk on her lips, one that's bound to scream wicked more than anything else. humans don't last in the Other Place, fae isn't even sure if she can bring one. but if it happens, it'll be interesting, something to entertain her for just a little bit longer.
