[Form means very little in the world of spirits. He knows this, Kostos has to know this, and even dumb as a cabbage little old Markus here has to know this. It's still annoying. What he wouldn't give for another intelligent being, and yet here he is stuck with the lowest of the low - a dimwit and a wisp. Bartimaeus hisses under his breath as the little bobbing light as is fusses around Kitty's head.]

Shapeshifting exists among Thedosians, sure, but who would take all of the time required to study Kitty Jones in detail for the amount of time required to convincingly become her, and especially do it just to ask him something like that? If it entered his mind, it would be immediately dismissed for being ridiculous.
On the other hand, the idea that Definitely Kitty Jones might be up to something isn't ridiculous at all. ]

[ Markus has followed the hair, but it comes when he gestures for it, with the aural equivalent of a shimmer. ]
