In an abandoned alleyway, there's a brief plume of purple flame, before it subsides into smoke and Atton wanders out, coughing and peering around.

This isn't Arcadia.

(Well, it might be Arcadia. The time period is about right. But it isn't, because Atton recognises this city as one from Earth.)

Atton's rather wondering how he got to Nottingham, and where Will is.

Some ragged children move around him and then away quickly, he looks dangerous.

The cries of the market sellers are loud and all blend together with every few moments the cry of someone the guards don't like being hit.

Okay, Atton's fairly sure that the guards weren't regularly beating people last time he was at Nottingham.

He peers down at his hand, briefly. His gauntlet is on it, all rough metal and bone and leather, with sharp, claw-like tips. Hopefully it won't stand out too much, but he keeps his coat mostly over it anyway as he heads towards the centre of the market.
