Rita scowled. Of course it just had to be the harpy. She and Rico had both tried and come close in the challenge, but to no avail. Speaking to Birdy isn't what Rita had in mind this week, but she'll do whatever it takes to stick around. Even if it means Rico doesn't make it.
Before knocking on the door, Rita clears her throat, and puts on her warmest smile, as she always does. Knocking four times in succession, she stands up straight but prepares to be forced to grovel.
"Birdy? It's Rita! I wanted to congratulate you on your win. And we really need to catch up besides!"
