Knocking on Wessex's door made Cam nervous, but then everything made Cam nervous -- a clinically diagnosed anxiety disorder will do that to you -- so it didn't really bother them. This should be the easy part, really, after their little trip to Torchline to infiltrate Ronin's recruitment session. They didn't feel like they'd learned much, really, but maybe their new knowledge would enlighten Wessex somehow. At least they'd gotten a look at Ronin's ring, even if they hadn't seen him use it -- unless the fact that it had glowed to identify the Accepted counted?
Cam hoped that Wessex would find what little information they had learned useful -- and not just because they naturally wanted to succeed in any task set before them. Ronin had repeatedly dodged the question of just who his dragoons would be fighting, which would have been suspicious even if Wessex hadn't already told Cam about the Order. And if there was a group in Caido prepared to hunt down and kill everyone who wouldn't worship their gods -- to go to war to destroy a rival goddess and her followers -- Cam wanted to help stop them.
They'd always wanted to think of themself as a hero, to save people from injustice, but they'd always assumed that they wouldn't be capable of actually doing so. And maybe they still weren't -- they weren't exactly a warrior who could defend the Grounds from the Order -- but they did want to help any way they could.
