Their mind racing from their recent Ascension, Cam strolled out of the Temple with their tongue running over their newly-sharpened teeth, trying to catalogue all the different sensations. They were thinking about writing down the changes they noticed in a journal, or something, just so they could remember what it felt like to be human and how Ascending changed that -- when suddenly they felt heat. Wait, wasn't Ascending supposed to dull sensation? They'd noticed --
Oh, that was too much heat. Definitely too much. Yikes! Instinctively, Cam jumped into the shade of a building, and the heat subsided.
Right. Vampires. Can't take the sunlight. Nice job, idiot.
Puffing their cheeks, Cameron inhaled and let out a long breath. Then they realized that this had been their first breath since they'd Ascended; the urge to breathe had vanished, so they'd forgotten to do so, and only took in air now as a means of expressing their emotions. Huh.
But, back to the matter at hand: they were now trapped in this patch of shade. It was a bit of a walk back to the inn where they were staying, and they doubted they could make it through the cheery morning sunlight that long. They could dash back to the Temple, though.
