It is almost easy to see the wheels spinning in Lumi's mind, to watch the thoughts settle and finally emerge.
The chestnut girl asks what she means, but the grullo mare suspects that is not all she has to say, so she waits, and sure enough: there is the question. Djinni has never, not a single time, given a truthful answer to the origin of her gifts, and she never will. The secret is between herself and her djinn - even her parents were kept from the details of the deal they had made.
"You could say that," she says with a smile, "But why take my word for it?"
"Go ahead, if you could have any gift you wanted, what would you wish for?"
She can feel the magic thrumming inside her, the words tied to it acting as a signal that only she can truly interpret. She does not pity the girl - why should she, Lumi is young, with her whole life open ahead of her. She does this for her own amusement, and perhaps her own self interest.
