Cam smiled, comforted by Darkeye's assurance that he wasn't about to just take a chisel to the bridge itself. And Darkeye's assessment was correct: the surrounding stone of the cliff edge was the same bleached color as the bridge, as were the rocks and veins of stone that poked out of the thin topsoil in places. "Cool. If I can help you find anything, just let me know what to look for."
Cam considered Darkeye's questions for a moment. The thought of the war brought their mood down, and as for what Earth's religions would make of it ... "I'm from a world called Earth. It's a lot more, uh, technologically advanced than this one? Kind of. But there's no magic there, and our gods never really ... made themselves known like the ones here did. Like, we had lots of religions with lots of gods, but it was easy to believe they didn't exist, because there were no definite signs of their presence like we have here. You couldn't go and talk to them or anything. And the religions at home ... A lot of them claimed to preach things like love and peace, but they also wanted everyone to follow their god and only their god. We had a lot of religious wars in the past, people killing each other because they followed different gods. Kind of like what's about to happen here." Cam grimaced at the thought.
"Don't worry about it; no harm done." Cam tried another smile. "Yeah, it's good to meet new people -- and I'm especially glad to have met another artist."
