"Anywhere nearby" is about five hundred metres away, covered by trees.

The slosh helps. It's abundantly clear that it does, because the second he can smell again his throat is on fire. He holds himself very still, focusing on the fact that it's a person, and that he has just eaten a lot and he's a horrible person when he has to convince not to kill someone by arguing that he's just eaten and now he's in a funk.

But it's a murderless funk so, um, yay?
