"Maybe I'm not," Cam answered, with a regret that they hoped sounded sincere -- probably the note of embarrassment did, since it was real. They didn't think they were going to get anything more out of Ronin -- he was clearly too smart to say something like "We can't wait to eliminate all the Ascended with our secret superweapon" or whatever. So Cam would just have to hope that Wessex could make something useful out of what they'd learned. "As awesome as it would be to have a dragon, I don't think I'm really military material."
They reached out carefully to try to touch one of Sugar's spines, wistfully. They certainly weren't lying when they said they would love to have a dragon, but not if the price was joining a genocidal theocracy. While they intended to lurk around until Ronin left -- under the pretense of watching the dragon -- just to see if he said anything interesting to someone else, they were pretty much done questioning him.
