Rita didn't expect Strange to give such a direct answer... but considering her preference for direct approaches, she's actually just fine with that. The woman takes it better than expected, too... if she's paying much attention to them at all.

She grimaces when the woman stands suddenly. It's hard to analyze someone when they're moving around! But, as it turns out, an in-depth analysis isn't needed. After only a glimpse at the data on display, Rita suddenly recoils in surprise.

"That's... not a spell," she breathes, glancing to Strange. "It's more like... it's alive?" Which is disgusting, actually. It's basically a magic parasite? Wait... where has she seen this before?

"A mushi!" she declares as soon as she realizes it. In the meantime, the woman's search goes unimpeded.
