[It's thanks to Peter's distraction that no one notices Héctor's disappearance for a solid few minutes. But when they do, Imelda immediately climbs onto Pepita's back, taking to the sky for an aerial search.
It doesn't take long to hunt him down. A person can only get so far on foot, and it's not nearly far enough to outdistance Pepita. The large chimera circles in the air overhead, descending only when Imelda spots the runaway and gives the order to land.
There's more than enough time for Héctor to prepare himself for this confrontation--and yet, maybe not enough time at all. The chimera lands on the ground, each paw making a soft thud and an indentation in the ground. Imelda slides off her familiar back with her jaw set tight and fire in her eyes.]
