Unfamiliar scents and sights filled the angel's view, from the bright and busy marketplaces and shops that covered both sides of the streets as they left the airport, setting off on foot.
So unfamiliar, in fact, that his nose tickled in warning and he pulled out a handkerchief, sneezing violently once, twice. Their progress came to a halt as he dabbed his suddenly watery eyes (these human bodies had their own reactions), and then tucked the handkerchief away. It was only after he had recovered that he felt - no, was it? - a demon in the area. More than one, likely, but the infernal presence was distant and faint.
"There's other people searching here," he told Ellie, in case others had caught word of 'demon' or 'angel'. "Far off, but be wary. You can't afford to be caught."
