It's not that Cam never feels homesick, but, well, they weren't exactly doing much at home, were they? Mostly they miss their family. It hurts sometimes to imagine how bereaved their family must feel without them. (Nobody's mentioned the whole "you still exist in your old world" thing to Cam.) But they have to keep moving on, and Caido is a pretty cool place. Plus, they have always wanted a robot body.
"Yeah ... I don't know that many people who aren't Ascended, honestly," Cam said. "Maybe that's for the best."
After all, as much as they might like to reach out to more people, they couldn't mourn mortal friends if they didn't have any.
"You're right. If we give up, the Old Gods have already won." Cam grinned, oddly comforted by the thought of spiting their enemies. "At least we have each other."
Then they glanced down at the book in their hand. "Well, I should probably get going ... Thanks for the book! It was good to meet you -- I'll be back, I'm sure."
