Two years ago this would have caused astonishment and possibly terror in this tiny hamlet of a hundred people on a river on the edge of a forest, but times have changed and now a small child pulls out a cell phone and tries to get a picture - "look, it's an angel -"

...yup that's her. An angel. Excuse her, she is lost. (Writing disappears from the sheaf of papers she's touching in her bag.) Do they know who she should go talk to about the immortality thing?

"You're an angel so you're all set," the girl says impatiently. "Angels can't be dying, Satya was suspicious so he stabbed one and she got scratched but she was fine - an' the Elves took him away because they were mad -"

"The Elves?"

"You don't know the Elves? They're tall and pretty and they live forever even without becoming daeva and they bought all the slaves and shoot everyone with needles every year so the babies don't get sick?"

"Oh, those, I must have misheard. Everybody else just has to become daeva?"

"Yeah. I summoned and Lise summoned and they sent Illa home because he's three and couldn't hold the button a whole minute."

"I'm lost, can you point me where they sent Illa home from?"

"The dot." She doesn't point. "You can't summon, you're an angel."

"You don't think they'll be able to help me get unlost?"

"Oh they'd probably do that." Point. "It's where the river curves."

"Thanks!"

She takes off, lands out of sight to write some things down, takes off again and goes to the dot.

It's a sleek white metal thing, with walls that one can see through. There's a long line of people.

She looks through the walls to see what they are doing.

The Elves are taller than anyone else, and dressed differently, and graceful. They walk a person up to some sort of control on the wall and press shiny lights in a sequence. Then the person flips a switch and then - nothing. 

A while later a winged person appears. They have some kind of exchange and then the winged person vanishes.

Hm. Well, there's no hiding her wings, which are probably why people think she's an angel. What happens if she hangs out in the trees over here till sundown?

The lines get shorter and eventually everyone has been seen. Most of them leave. Some stay; some of the ones who stay are clearly pleading for something or other. One person gets agitated and goes flying through the air and gets gently set down some distance away.

After that everyone disperses.

The Elves come outside and start singing. 

Prospects for sneaking in?

There's someone outside the building doing security. It has three sets of doors, all presently locked.

Are they looking, if she just appears inside -? She'd rather not...

Security seems to be looking outside, not in; the Elves are looking in all different directions.

The Elves can probably alert the security. Damn.

She goes and catches up with the disgruntled people leaving.

"Do you have medical qualifications?" asks one of the disgruntled people leaving.

"No, I'm sorry."

Sigh. "Their kids don't die, they can't understand. They can look for the spot on their script where it says 'I'm sorry' but they can't understand, they don't die - I guess you don't either. But Lara does, and she might, and they're all 'we'll try to get a whitemage if she gets sicker' -"
