There's some shock at seeing her boyfriend's girlfriend (does she know Ylva? Does she know the accursed boat?) but Ylva, who had been loitering around on the roofs in the shape of a crow, is so surprised that when the door of the tavern swings open, she swoops into the building, not transforming back into her default shape until she touches ground several metres into the building.
