When she's not eating, she likes to nap in Rysn's pot of grass andor to perch on the lintel above the door. However, if the need arises, she is also protective of Rysn.

For several months since, Chiri-Chiri continued to grow until she fell mysteriously ill. This caused Rysn to consider an [[expedition to Akinah]] to attempt to get help for Chiri-Chiri.{{book ref|sa3.5|1}} They first traveltraveled to [[Urithiru]], where [[Navani Kholin]] marveled over Chiri-Chiri. After seeing the larkin for herself, Navani granted Rysn a deal to travel to Akinah to uncover the mysteries there.{{book ref|sa3.5|2}} Chiri-Chiri came on the expedition and spent most of the trip dozing off.{{book ref|sa3.5|4}} Partway through, upon discovering [[Nikli]]'s subterfuge, Rysn attempted to use Chiri-Chiri to determine if Nikli iswas holding Light, but Chiri-Chiri didn't draw any from Nikli's body. Rysn was confident this meant that Nikli wasn't holding any.{{book ref|sa3.5|10}} Upon arrival at Aimia, Chiri-Chiri looked up towards what [[Cord]] identified as [[luckspren]]. She seemed to perk up for the first time since the illness set onin, getting up and flying around. After a short while, Chiri-Chiri dove into the water.{{book ref|sa3.5|12}} Later, when Rysn iswas bargaining with Nikliasorm in the caverns, Chiri-Chiri returnsreturned to Rysn, having bonded some mandras. Her normal coloration had returned and she even instinctively attempted to defend Rysn. Chiri-Chiri's arrival forced Nikli to consider making a deal with Rysn. Chiri-Chiri stayed with Rysn during the negotiations as Nikli revealed that it considered Chiri-Chiri to be an Ancient Guardian. Nikli explainsexplained that Chiri-Chiri iswas the third larkin the [[Sleepless]] havehad encountered, and the first to reach the size that required her to bond mandras.{{book ref|sa3.5|19}} After the negotiations concluded, a fully recovered Chiri-Chiri joined Rysn and the crew as they sailed back to the mainland.{{book ref|sa3.5|epilogue}}
 
=== 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}}
 
== Trivia ==
* Rysn and Chiri-Chiri are based in minor ways on the trope of receiving an unusual pet as a gift, as in the books ''Dragon's Blood'' by Jane Yolen and ''The White Dragon'' by Anne McCaffrey.{{wob ref|13802}}
