Devika let out a few more deep breaths, feeling somehow marked by his touch. She rubbed herself once his back was turned, as if trying to clean her skin. The guy was nearly around the corner when she realized what had truly set her off in the first place. That presence. Something was here that didn't belong here. She wasn't sure that it had noticed her, but... it would be strange to leave someone without knowledge that could keep them safe.

She at least owed him that much.

"Ah, er..." She cleared her throat and lifted her voice, letting her parents' many years of vocal training kick in. "Mr. Brice, just a moment!" She rushed after him, looking off a bit, not quite meeting his eyes. "The whole reason I was... ill in the first place wasn't the crowd. Some... something was there. Something not human. I caught a bit of it's emotion... it was like nothing I'd ever felt before. I had no defense against it. You... you should be careful, I guess."
