Cameron didn't watch Varus interact with the shrine, figuring that the man's religious activities were none of their business; in fact, they had just decided to leave when he turned back to them. Staring at the shrine would not bring them answers, after all -- especially when they physically couldn't ask questions.
A state of affairs that made Varus's question a little awkward. Cam wasn't totally OK, but they also weren't in the kind of distress that required a stranger's aid. They appreciated his concern, but there was no point in worrying him when he couldn't help them.
"Yes," Cam replied, with an awkward smile. Oh, how they would have loved to elaborate! Usually Cam's conversations were all elaboration and qualification, their words rambling through tangled sentences and twisting back on each other. Sometimes they felt self-conscious about this style of speaking, but it was better than this -- not being able to convey more information, more context for their actions, was killing them.
