She hides in the empty barrel

Once she hears Clovis closing in, Lina quickly jumps on the barrel and close the lid the best she can. Everything inside is dark, so all of her other senses are amplified to compensate for it, so she quickly figures what had been stored in there, the fatty smell of a milk derived product, the inner surface is slippery to the touch and once she licks the remains of whatever it was inside, she had confirmation, it was butter. Wonderful, she thought, as her empty stomach was stimulated by the sensory overload, now she can only hope it won't growl at this very inconvenient time.

She hears the door opening loudly, he seemed angry and was shouting. "WHOEVER IT IS, SHOW YOUSELF!" hopefully he would keep screaming and not hear her stomach growling, what would happen if she was found out? Thievery was punished heavily at the village, she might be able to negotiate a deal with Clovis, but would she be able to offer her body to that old, disgusting Clovis? She might have better luck pushing the lid if he tried to open it, trying to knock him out before he could distinguish her face in the dark room, after all, he doesn´t know who´s inside and if its even a human. On the other hand, the safest option might be to just remain perfectly still and hope Clovis doesn´t notice a previously empty barrel with a lid on like it was full.
