Cam listened to Varus with interest -- if they'd been able to speak freely, they would have been full of questions and responses. Had the Voice given him his metal arm? Did it have special powers? Three hundred years? What kinds of wars?
But, alas, they remained silenced; they could only nod along. But they did give Varus what respond they could, when he asked his questions: "Yes," and then another "Yes."
If Varus had been Ascended for three hundred years and hadn't come to regret it -- well, that was a pretty good endorsement in Cam's book. Varus's description of the Voice's attitude encouraged Cam, too; he didn't think he could follow a god who issued commands, who expected to be obeyed for their divinity. But they could be part of a family, maybe.
They just wished they could say so.
