It's his smell that stops Kitty dead in her tracks as she pushes past him through a crowded place. So far, everything has been smelling like home, more or less - like the underlying scent everywhere around the place that she grew up in. She didn't really notice it until now, when she suddenly is engulfed by a different scent entirely. It takes her a bit to identify it, longer than she is near it.
Her curiosity picked, she turns around once she's a few people away - vanishing in a crowd and slipping through it fast are both easy tasks when you're half as tall as everyone else - and then she follows him, the scent aside also quickly noticing how bad he is at not being conspicuous. She has to think of the guy with the colourless eyes. Such a scent - she can identify it now: clean, fresh earth - shouldn't stick to a human. If he's human. Which you can never be sure of here, apparently, especially if people smell weird. But the people who smell weird tend to do their best to not stand out, and running around with a raven and staring at the area like it's new...
Nothing is conclusive here. But it would be nice to know if she's not the only person who doesn't belong here. And maybe he would know a way back.
She finally catches up with him when the throng of people thins too much for her to still stay hidden.
