She's been giving Yay a good sniffing (especially in Tuesday's comic). However, being a Very Good Girl, she's waiting until Mommy and Plastic Person finish talking.

Question:
Yay's comment earlier in the week about Aurelia not looking a day over 47 - do you think it's correct to interpret that as meaning Aurelia is currently 47 years old? The exchange puzzled me a bit when I first read it but now I'm pretty sure that's right. Aurelia mentions flattery in response which is slightly odd if that's her real age (though that could be sarcasm on her part). But if it's not Aurelia's real age, then it's a strangely specific number for Yay to mention. And 47 would also fit with Aurelia having her kids young, which I believe she mentioned at one point.

What I took from it is that Aurelia is actually a bit older, but Yay was implying she looked younger than her real age, hence her "flattery" comment; as for why Yay picked 47, I'm not sure. She's probably not a lot older than 47 at any rate, if she had her kids young.
Also, it's always struck me as odd that nobody bats an eyelid at Yay referring to themselves in the plural (not just using neutral pronouns, but plural). No other AI does that, since Yay is (are?) a unique (and secret) collective consciousness, yet nobody picks up on this strange "royal we" they're using. Not even Clinton, who is a major AI nerd.

Interestingly, they also seem like they care very strongly about what Aurelia thinks of them, which is something we've only really seen between them and Roko.

It’s because Aurelia went all maxiMom on them and they suddenly discovered that transcends species and even substrates… I have no doubt they’re panic-running diagnostics to find the source of the “problem” in the background.

Maybe 47 is Jeph's favorite prime number?
Is it cold in here?:
This is Yay's "take off my armor" moment.
