=== Post-expedition ===
Some time after the Aimia expedition, Chiri-Chiri was present during a conversation between Rysn and Vstim. She observed that the humans had an ungainly way of communicating, with a great deal of flapping, wet sounds that came from their mouths. As Rysn and Vstim talked, Chiri-Chiri sensed an ancient Rosharan rhythm that vibrated up from the ground. After Vstim left, Chiri-Chiri wanted to communicate to Rysn about the impending danger that she sensed through the rhythm. By focusing on the sounds of the human tongue, she produced a few words, including Rysn's name. This shocked Rysn greatly.{{book ref|sa4|i|8}}
