"Yes, of course. Do you want me to tell Miranda, or would you rather do that yourself?"

"That one I'll do."

Nod. Squeeze.

"I don't like feeling like it's reasonable for people to be terrified of me and want me in jail."

"Cam seems to find it helpful to distract himself and spend time around people who, regardless, are not terrified of him and do not want him in jail."

"I can see the appeal." And he goes off to find Miranda.

Broomsticking about in the backyard with Karen! "Hi Minor!" she hollers from the sky.

He'll wait for them to land. "Hi!"

Down she comes. "- you okay?"

"There's a species of people who hatch from eggs and I killed my summoner."

"...your summoner who hatched from an egg?" asks Karen tentatively.

" - no - the egg people were just doing summons and dismissals with no task for the immortality, they have interdimensional transit and learned about it on their own and didn't know the implications - then I tried to come home and tell everyone but I grabbed another fucking kidnapping and that's the summoner I killed."

"Why do people keep thinking it is okay to kidnap daeva," says Miranda, and she throws her arms around him.

Hug. Sob. "I don't know. I don't know. Maybe - people are just like that, if there's someone it's easy and invisible to hurt -"

Hug.

He has wings. He can cling to Miranda very very much. "I told Ambela everything because I wanted to know if you'd be disappointed in me once you had the whole story I needed to know -"

"I'm assuming you had to get home in a tearing hurry because of the egg people somehow?"

Nodnod.

Squeeze. "Your summoner'll be fine they don't even have to study cellular biology. Are you okay -"

"Scared of Ganymede. Tired. It - didn't feel good. I don't want to ever have to do that again even knowing they wake up right away nothing wrong at all -"

Nod. "Would you go, if they summon you - last time you didn't -"

"Last time I hadn't done anything wrong. I - yeah, I would. Murder's not allowed."

Squeeze.

Squeeze. 

"A-are they gonna? We'd visit you..."
