[ He could easily become a bat too, to fit in, but why would he? Nothing wrong with standing out a little. So the boy takes a running jump and bursts into flight, feathers rippling over his skin as he takes to the air in the form of an eagle again.
Trusting that the bats are following, the eagle makes its noble way over the desert at quite a clip. The trail isn't particularly difficult to follow – Bartimaeus's access to the planes has been iffy at best since he got here, and he's found that he can't always trust his own eyes to reveal the truth of things the way he used to be able to, but this is solid, something he can do. It makes him feel useful.
The eagle starts to tilt downward after a long stretch of flying, following the trail to its source. The source, he discovers as he alights on the ground again and returns to his preferred human form once more, appears to be the aftermath of quite a significant altercation. Bartimaeus frowns, prodding at the cart with his foot. ]
