Cam chuckled a little at Lilliane's response. "Yeah, I get it. I think the Voice's 'help' detector might need a little fine-tuning. Uh, not to say that you aren't capable or anything -- I was thinking of myself. Since I got here, it's been the Voice helping me, not the other way around. Though I would like to repay her."
The mention of conflict made them sober up. "Yeah. Things are already pretty far gone here. It's ... I don't see why we have to fight at all, honestly, but apparently the Old Gods are dead set on it."
They glanced over at Lilliane. "I understand completely. Honestly, if you picked a side after just talking to me, I'd be kind of worried. Definitely talk to both sides! But if you only remember one thing I've said: the Old Gods want us all dead, and we just want to be left alone. You can ask someone on the other side and they'll say the same thing, that they want to annihilate us just for existing. To me, that automatically puts them on the wrong side, no matter who they're trying to exterminate."
Cam smiled at Lilliane's laughter, though the thought of drinking blood did actually make them a bit uncomfortable. "Apparently when we drink someone's blood, we can ... use their powers. Some people here have magic, or can shape-shift, and we can copy those abilities if we drink their blood."
