"That's true," Cam said thoughtfully. "I mean, I'm not sure how much control the Voice actually has over the portals, but from their point of view, better safe than sorry, right? Stormbreak also just hates the Ascended," Cam added. "I don't think they'd let any of us on their soil long enough to make a portal anyway."
Cam ducked their head with a self-conscious smile. "Thanks ... I don't mind not eating, personally. I, uh, never really liked it. But I know some Ascended miss being able to taste things."
Lilliane's statement earned a nod from Cam. That was the core of the matter, wasn't it? "Yeah, it's like ... I understand disagreeing with the Voice; I understand not liking her. I even understand thinking the Ascended are creepy or whatever. But the leap from that to 'let's kill everyone who disagrees with us' is way too far for me."
