"Oh, that's the Ascended thing, right?" Cam gave Adam a once-over that probably wasn't nearly as surreptitious as they thought. If he hadn't said so, they never would have guessed that he was some kind of ... magic robot vampire? The concept was still wild.
"Uh, you don't have to do that," Cam said, to Adam's offer -- because they genuinely weren't sure being around Adam was any safer than being alone. Though they had had this much of a conversation without him trying to strangle them. Cam supposed that yelling about your most intimate problems to someone did kind of forge a bond of some kind. They wavered visibly; they might have said no, but if Adam insisted, they'd probably let him walk them back just to keep it from being awkward.
"So, how did the Voice 'get' you? Like, how'd you become Ascended?"
