"Yes," Cam said, though the real answer was closer to "maybe." They had no intention of following the Old Gods, really, not after all they'd heard about the Old Gods' followers attempting to wipe out the Ascended just for the crime of worshiping another god. But did that mean they should follow the Voice? Become Ascended? Consent to such an enormous change to their body?
Cameron's relationship with their body had always been a little difficult. They'd always said that if they could have a perfectly androgynous, sexless doll body that didn't have to eat, they'd leap at the opportunity. But now that something similar presented itself, they couldn't help feeling unsure.
Not that they could really discuss much of that with this man, with the whole yes-or-no answers thing. If only they could find some way to convey their limitations -- but they'd found that the curse was so total that they couldn't even write an explanation. Whenever they put pencil to paper, it came out as "yes," "no," or an illegible scribble.
