Kaya pulled up a chair and sat across from him, arms crossed, eyes cold.
"Alright, Liam," she said flatly. "Let's try this again. Who sent you?"
Liam's smile widened. "No one."
Kaya didn't blink. "Wrong answer."
"It's the truth," Liam said smoothly. "I came here on my own. Heard about the vulture beastman who got soft over a Weak woman. Wanted to see if it was true."
Veer stepped closer, looming behind Kaya. "You didn't come here just to sightsee. You jinxed us. You targeted Sparrow. You caused chaos. Why?"
Liam shrugged as much as he could with his hands tied. "Entertainment, mostly."
Sparrow's feathers puffed up. "Entertainment? You almost killed me!"
"Almost," Liam said, grin never fading. "But you're still here, aren't you?"
Kaya leaned forward, voice dropping low and dangerous. "You're lying. You didn't do all this for fun. Someone benefits from this chaos. Someone wanted us distracted, divided, weakened." Her eyes narrowed. "So I'll ask you one more time—who sent you?"
