Veer glanced at Cutie. Cutie glanced back at Veer. Both their faces stayed perfectly blank.
They had no idea what Kaya meant by that exactly, but they were definitely not going to let this big-mouthed bird know anything. Because Sparrow would just go around shouting about it to anyone who'd listen.
So they looked at him in perfect unison and said flatly, "You're just a child."
Sparrow's mouth fell open. "What? I'm already an adult!"
Cutie and Veer ignored him completely, turning their attention toward Kaya's closed door like Sparrow had ceased to exist.
Sparrow sputtered behind them, wings fluttering in indignation, but neither of them acknowledged it.
Cutie looked at Veer. "Are you gonna knock?"
