[ the gems were just too good to resist. and the door was wide open! it was all too easy for her to fly in, scoop up some gems in her beak, and fly back out again. truly, it is the perfect crime.
... except for the part where there was a witness. and also the part where she took more gems than she could actually fit comfortably in her beak while also flying at full speed. only one course is left. A CHASE! one that will hopefully get her pursuers hopelessly lost!
banking sharply to her left, she takes a turn down a narrower road, and can't resist squawking a cackling taunt behind her. something along the lines of catch me if you can, slowcoach!, except that it comes out a bit garbled with a beak full of precious jewels.
she also drops a couple of gems thanks to that, landing on the ground below like a ridiculously expensive trail of breadcrumbs. ALAS. ]
