As they set out, Kin took a moment to allow her costume to dissipate into motes of light. As useful as the magical enhancements granted by the outfit were, it didn't exactly allow for much subtlety.
Walking through the streets towards a district of town definitely not intended for girls their age, Kin stoically ignored the occasional odd look she received. As long as no one tried to stop them, she wasn't terribly concerned.
As she walked, she ran what she knew through her head. Diving down to the deepest parts of her brain, through rationality and logic and into the eerie depths of her most instinctual, animalistic mind, she considered the matter.
Where was her
prey?
Where it finds food.
Good.
Allowing the instincts of a hunter that lurked in the dark, primal parts of her mind to take over, Kin moved in step with Ruel. It appeared that more than one of them could think like a beast stalking prey.
However, there was one slight difference.
Ruel didn't have help.
"It seems there are things we'll have to face in dark alleys," she murmured as she walked. She stopped and turned to her compatriots, "Perhaps we should check this way?"
She jerked her thumb towards the alley once before walking towards it.

"Hmm. Hold one moment, I have something to add." Kin spoke up, waiting for Ruel to pause and look at her before continuing, "As Lakshimi discovered, this creature is one of wind. Fleeting, transient... fleeing. Loners and strays, picked off and vanished into the wind." She mumbled, slightly incoherently.
Shaking herself, she spoke in more plain terms, "It won't go after groups, it will likely run if threatened, and it is sneaky and cunning. Perhaps we would be wise to not charge in expecting a dumb beast to meet us in open combat."
After a moment, she adds one last thing.
"I don't suppose you know how to kill a potentially invisible and intangible creature? I would wager magic is effective even if a normal person couldn't touch it, but that still leaves the question of how we see wind."
