Cam nodded, happy to move on from the more serious subject of homesickness. "Thanks, I will! Yeah, I don't even need lights. And, uh, might be better off without them, actually. Ascended are a little ... flammable." Cam winced, thinking of how they'd burned themself when they first Ascended -- and that was just from sunlight, not an open flame. Then they refocused on Lilliane's question. "Yeah, we can sleep, and I have a bed in case I want to lie down. But I usually just ... don't. I don't actually get tired or sleepy or anything, and I don't dream anymore." They sighed. "I do kind of miss dreaming. It was cool."
Cam came and sat where Lilliane had indicated, looking over the materials before selecting a thin piece of wood to try to use as a base. They hoped they were visualizing the structure of the lantern correctly ... "Yeah, good point. Maybe the souls here really do need to be guided home ... It's harder to distinguish myth from fact in a world where magic and gods are real." Wait, had they just protected their atheism onto Lilliane? "I mean, I know plenty of people back home believe their gods are real, and I can't definitively say otherwise, but they're definitely more obvious in Caido."
