Cam nodded, smiling. "It's been really interesting to see how different things are here, and in other places other Outlanders are from. I'm glad to be here, even if it's definitely not how I saw my life going a year ago." But the thought of those who stand with the Old Gods brings their mood down. They add, "Yeah, not to mention slaughtering everyone who doesn't agree with them. Maybe we could have not brought those people through."
When Sam mentioned meeting older Ascended, Cam let out a long breath, pretty relieved to hear that not all the ancient Ascended had turned into monsters. "That's good. Also kind of really cool, knowing that we might live that long." Mortality has never been Cam's favorite thing; as a teenager they would have anxious, sleepless nights where they agonized over the concept of oblivion, the only afterlife they believed in. (They were a strange teenager.) To have that worry lifted ... Well, new worries had come in its place: "If we survive the next couple years, anyway."
