Am I changing POVs if I'm describing what two or more characters are sensing (touch, smell, sound, etc.)? I know it's not okay to jump from one POV to another. Example: > Anna was afraid he'd notice she was embarrassed, but Ian thought she was the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen. However, I want to know whether that also counts for explaining what a character is sensing. Example: > Nina was hit by lavender smoke as she walked past the house. Jenny's nostrils started to itch, and her eyes water when she took a whiff of the flowers. Is the second example okay, or does it count as changing POVs?
