"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kaya snapped, narrowing her eyes at Vayu. "Confused? What, now you're acting like I made this up?"
Vayu stared back at her, still not understanding. "I—I never said—"
Kaya didn't let him finish. She stepped forward and threw her arms out in disbelief.
"What do you think, huh? That I have some magical power that tells me which underwater tribe lives where?" she said, voice rising. "I didn't even know this Murphlock or Merfolk or whatever-they-are existed until you guys told me!"
She jabbed a finger in the air toward all three of them. "You're the ones who said I needed the medicine. You told me this was where we had to come."
Then her finger pointed directly at Vayu, sharp and accusing. "And you! Weren't you the one who said you could 'handle' the Shark Tribe? Didn't you call them here?!"
Vayu froze on the spot. His lips parted, but no words came out. He looked at the others, confused, then turned back to Kaya.
