(Given we're not with the main group, and kinda 'waiting', I assume it's okay to post this quickly. I don't want to run off and leave anyone, though, so...x3 )<br/><br/><br/>For the first time since their intial encounter some time ago, Ryla actually shows a little bit of surprise at hearing the harpy not only complete her sentence, but extrapolate on it considerably. Gazing at the harpy in a new light, Ryla offers up a coy little grin, her small, white teeth practically glinting in the sun's light "Ohhh. A harpy after my own heart."  What a relief that was. Her entire family, mother and sisters included (she could only assume her father as well, given...well, he was a kitsune), all had the same 'hey, that person looks tasty, let's eat them!' mentality that tended to offer up more trouble than it was worth at times.

In fact, I know a rat that totally has it coming. I bet you he's got a friend or two floating around that noone would miss...." Without further expanding on her little idea, Ryla trails Misha to the little underhang, leaning casually back against the wood treated to withstand the constant onslaught of the salty sea air "Sure, I'm eager to meet them, too. Like I said, information is a valuable commodity."  Casually twirling her staff, Ryla settles in to wait, eyeing the boat as it loads up individuals from the ship, intent to take them the harbor proper...
