Neverwinter Forest No one ever told me grief felt like fear

Of all the things that he was expecting to happen, to have Khali yell and scram was not one of them. Mal just stood there, blinking. Uhh. What happened?

And one could only imagine just how confusion Cam himself had. On top of whatever anger and other things that must have piled on him. He was explaining it as he went, in fact. Yeah, this was not ideal. Khali's presence (or lack thereof) was forgotten because Cam was more important. Cam -- Cam. He stepped towards him, leaning down to give him a light nudge to the shoulder. Now you're here. You're part of my family if you wanna be. Either way, you're not alone. I can't say I know what's wrong with him, and I can't change the past, but right now? Right now you're somewhere better. His brain fuzzed a bit, trying to figure out if there was something better to say, but until he saw Cam's reaction he wasn't sure which path to take.
