Hitan didn't jinx it because it was already going to happen. Gevar sprinted through the village in record time, heading towards a rocky outcropping she knew well. It was close enough that she could get to it rather easily, but far enough that she could shift and leave unnoticed if she wished.

That was what she was doing now. As she clambered over the boulders, her mind was seized by a panic that was all too familiar; the fear of losing the only family she had. Gevar knew about merchants. They traded information, not just items. Word of her escapades could reach the village, reach Willa. The Stymphalian bird had raided enough villages in her mortal form that she would be recognizeable. I'm not going to risk it.

Opting to shift into her full bird form, she launched herself off the mountain and headed west towards the village.

That did nothing to assuage Willa's concerns. "How do you know? Oh, I hope she's alright. Perhaps I should go after her."
