[Well, that was a lie. He still felt like one giant bruise, unsteady, and feeling like he was on an emotional knife-edge, but Kazuya was beginning to shove his gameface on - the one where he swallowed down all those bad emotions of fear and hysteria and crushed them right into the back of his mind where they could fester quietly into a future meltdown (future!Kaz can deal with that). Another deep breath, and Kazuya felt back to normal. Yeah. He can do this.
He clambered to his feet unsteadily, and seemed to test his balance. It was fine. He wouldn't be able to do any sprints without tripping over himself, but he could walk and do an ambitious jog if the situation called for it. With those important details out of the way, he tilted his head back and inhaled deeply. The scents... it was a bad way to put it, really. All humans with a power beyond the mundane, as well as other demons or angels, carried a sort of... thing about them, and its what made it so easy for demons to track power. Kazuya could only describe it as a scent, and he wasn't quite sure how he knew about it, only that he did. It seemed to be an instinctual thing...]
Ah. Found one. [It was a bit muddied though...] This way... I think?
