"So what happened?" Stridder asked the crowd. After hearing of the man that had defeated the small invasion he turned to Sesono.
"Say, you think you can smell out that guy?" he asked her, thinking that she was a Zoonite,
"These people say that he smelled weird." The weird smell was that Simon still hadn't got the stench of Old Earth off of him. All the different smells of the Old Earth had been long gone by now.
"Along with his smell he was dressed weird too, like he was covered in shiny rocks." one of the villagers added.
"Right, So he must be an Elemental. But that still doesn't explain why he smells weird." Stridder mumbled to himself.
