"Thanks," Cam said, still smiling with the warmth that Lilliane's willingness to help made them feel. "Yeah, you can come by any time and see if Bastien's home -- and if not, I doubt anyone will mind you hanging around. I draw, paint a little ... I'm kind of having to relearn things, since I was a digital artist at home."
Cam matched Lilliane's laugh on realizing that they'd neglected that basic courtesy. "I'm Cam. Cameron. Nice to meet you, Lilliane -- that's a pretty name."
Then Cam bit their lip. "It's not that Ascended can't live in other places at all. Well, we're not allowed in the Greatwood at all. But there are a few Ascended in Halo. Torchline, though ... their queen is a big proponent of the Old Gods now, so it's gotten harder to feel safe there. Plus the sun there is really bright, and we burn in the sun." After they spoke, Cam realized that some of the names they'd dropped probably wouldn't make sense to Lilliane. "Torchline is the coastal area, where we met, and Halo's a city up on the tundra. The Greatwood is, as the name suggests, a forest -- the Fae live there."
