After Glass's party is over with, Amariah and Kas go home.
Amariah fetches down their alethiometers.
"It's about time I took care of Alethia's afterlife, whatever it may be," she says quietly. "What can the alethiometer tell you about what I'll find?"

None of the shades know where to find harpies on purpose.

So Kas does the obvious thing.
"They're around, but they move," he says. "If we stay here long enough, we'll run into some."

"Let's split up, talk to more people, congregate wherever the first person to find harpies is," says Amariah. She lifts into the air - provoking breathless surprise from the shades - and says, "I'll go that way."
Who knows what happens to Ghosty.
Kas is the first to find a harpy.
She lands. She looks at him.
She takes off and flies away.
All of the nearby shades cluster close and cold around him, murmuring about how he sent her away.

If none of them runs into her on the way, they can continue their search in a group so as to better corner the next one to appear. If they can't teleport to each other, splitting up isn't as valuable as expected.
Ghosty flickers parts of her attention between all of them; she is not any more restricted in her movements than usual.

Shell Bell is the next to meet a harpy! She reports this information.
That is the last thing the link hears from her.

...Sue is alarmed! Bells aren't chatty on link, but this is important, he'd expect her to be talking about it.

Sherlock probably notices the smew tensing and shaking in her arms before he says anything.
