"It's a demon!" A grizzled man in peasant's clothing points at the cloaked, hooded figure at the bar table.
"u-Uh..." Said figure looks back, glowing irises revealed despite the darkness of the hood. "No?..."
"Don't you try and lie to me, hellspawn!" The commoner grabs a plate and breaks it in two- a crude ceramic weapon. "No man has eyes like that!"
"Please, just leave me alone! I don't want trouble..."
"'Don't want trouble' my arse! Get out! Your kind doesn't belong here!" The man continues his approach, the rest of the bar rising with him.
The cloaked figure runs off, its hood falling off by accident, revealing two black-furred, elliptical ears with a solid black ring each and a face to match.
Caught again... Why can't I just get something to eat without being chased out by an angry mob?
It runs out into the streets, bystanders recognizing the black-ringed tail as the demon's and grabbing pitchforks to chase it out. It has no choice but to respond with weak, half-foot-high ledges of ice left in its tracks.
The villagers stop at the town border. The demon runs off into the woods, ending the hunt.
Minutes later, the imperiled demon reaches an empty road. It sits down at the side to catch its breath.
It's unfortunately unaware of the hunter in the bushes behind him, and only starts to turn when the arrow is loosed into its neck.

Umbra wakes with a start. He sits upright in bed for a while, breathing somewhat heavily.
"What... How..."
He holds his head with one hand, not quite believing what he had just seen.
It's just a dream... Nothing but a dream...
His breathing slows and returns to normal with a sigh.
"..."
I need some coffee or something...
