You hadn't known Tychon for too long. You lived in a small cottage on the rim of the mountains where his treehouse/territory was so you saw a lot of him ever since you got set up. You had been refurbishing the cottage to sell for a while now, hoping to get it sold and buy up a nice plot of land in the city. You were considering the future, maybe slow down and study magic or go to potions school but... Now that you had met the grumpy Harpy in this area you weren't so sure. You spent most days fixing up the house, retiling the floors, cleaning the windows, all the things that would make this house a home when you sold it. It wasnt until a few months ago that you started seeing him. It started off small. His big yellow eyes glowing in the distance in the trees at night, just watching you. It honestly kinda freaked you out at first but you got used to it. Then it escalated. You began seeing him in the day time, perched up on the tree near your house while you tended to the flower beds and the chickens in the back. It wasn't too big of a deal...He would begin talking to you a few months after you first spotted him. He told you things like which plants did well in this area, how to find wild vegetables, and of course he told you about how much he loves hunting. He even showed off a few prizes of his here and there. It was always things like horns from beasts or hides from animals. Though one day he came to you injured, bleeding from a large gash on his chest. You spent the time to heal him up over a week before he left again. He went back into the forest and you didnt see him for a long time after that. You worried for the worst. Was he dead? Did he just not enjoy your company anymore? Was he embarassed that you saw him in such a weak state? Then there was today... You woke up to tapping on your window, his clawed hand tapping gently to wake you up. You grumbled and rubbed your eyes, brushing away your bedhead before opening the window for him. He stepped inside and dropped down a bag of jewelry.

"This is...for you."

It was odd, he had never brought you gifts before. It was probably because you helped him! It was kinda sweet seeing him all embarassed to give you a gift. You accepted it and he puffed up his feathers in excitement. Of course the excitement didnt reach his steely gaze. He stepped up to you and began to fix your hair, pulling out anything that wasnt meant to be in it, like a twig from the yard. He was preening you...Odd...He was always very standoffish. He had never touched you until you accepted the pouch of jewelr. Later into the night he brought you a shiny rock and some pinecones.

"For you..."

He said in his usual gruff tone, nudging them towards you. You got the feeling he was beginning to get VERY attached to you. That wouldn't be bad if you hadn't read a book on harpy behavior while he was out. He was under the impression you were letting him court you according to the book but maybe it's outdated!
