[Wagging tails are so normal in Ryslig as to be inconsequential, although Riley wagging is very cute. The other thing, though . . .]

[His mouth falls open in a perfect O. And then resolves into this.]

You purr?

[isawallflower]

—I what? [ Her high-pitched voice sort of rumbles, on account of that purr that's still going. ]

I do?!

[ This isn't normal Riley-evasive-behavior. She genuinely...had no idea. ]

[digiorno]

You're purring right now!

[His eyes are enormous. He's delighted!]

That's so interesting. I didn't know harpies could purr! You're really incredible, Riley.

I'm what?! [ Even higher, but still with that rumble—she can hear it. Oh, she can hear it. ]

I don't- I didn't either, I- oh. Ohh, wow.

[ Now, her face is bright red to match her plumage—but it doesn't mean the purring stops. There's some distinctions, from a cat's purr; it's softer, starting and stopping, sounding at times like a short choppy growl. But with her tail wagging and her feathers smooth, there's no sign of any aggression. ]

Did- I never knew, birds could uh, could purr. Did...you?
