Cam smiles at Wessex's thanks; they can hear that there's feeling behind it. That feeling sounds a bit sad, though, so their smile is bittersweet. It still hurts to know how many people have sided with the Old Gods and their campaign of annihilation, but at least they have each other, right?
Another smile and a nod at Wessex's declaration of atheism. Part of Cam wants to inquire further -- to ask why, if Wessex didn't follow the Voice already, she decided to become Ascended. But Wessex sounds tired, and Cam doesn't want to overstay their welcome. Besides, they're quite familiar with the kind of need that would drive someone to the Voice and what she could offer regardless of their theological opinions. That's just one more thing Wessex and Cam have in common, they think, and they like having things in common with Wessex.
Cam goes to the window and peers out. "I think I can walk home. Thanks for the assist."
This conversation, even with the dark turns it took, has been preferable to hanging around the Temple all day -- or burning in the sun.
