Cam frowned at the sadness in Bastien's voice. "Not primitive, just different. I mean, you might not have the same technologies we did at home, but here there's magic, and the Voice's tech, that can do things we could never manage. And as for your world -- well, there's a lot of bad stuff that's developed in the last few hundred years along with the good. Maybe you didn't get cars, but you also didn't have to worry about climate change, so it kind of evens out."
Bastien's praise quickly made Cam smile, though. "Thanks; I've been practicing for a long time. Let's see ..." They decided to go ahead and make a sketch to guide them on the paper before trying the paint, so they picked up a pencil and set out their sketchbook as a reference.
"Yeah. To be honest, I still wouldn't mind a little adventure ..." Cam mused. "I mean, I always thought I was too anxious and weak to survive something like that, but I've adapted better than I would have thought." They glanced up, smiling. "It's good to know that there are quieter things to do too, though."
