Maybe it’s, ya know, a metaphorical smells. Danger and badness is coming, but to start with it just simmers, there’s just a hint before the whole savanna is up in flame and there goes the neighbhorhood.
Sweetgrass… if it;s like Sugar Cane, then it smells horrible Like sugar syrup and burning *sludge*. Like dirty streets and… and… something terrible and organic. It makes you sick to smell, believe me.
Bah, you city kids… can’t say I have ever smelt sweetgrass burning underground, but smelt plenty of plain old grass-fires and they are NOT sweet. Acrid, harsh, sulfury more like. Can’t imagine a slow, oxygen-starved underground fire would smell better. Don’t know if that’s what the author was going for but that’s the reality.
I’ve always thought of SGV sounding like too much incense in a small, closed space. Choking, cloying… since I don’t know what The People classify as sweetgrass, and don’t have much of a sense of smell to start with… *shrug*
I know what an australian bushfire smells like, though, and that //reeks//…
