The story matches Palamedes’ own, but no recognition shows on Camilla’s face. Without allowing her eyes to leave his face, she crouches down and picks up the phone.
She might not show it, but Natsuno is earning a lot of Camilla Hect brownie points for being so calm and careful about all this.
For a few minutes, the only sound in the room comes from the palm-sized device in Camilla’s hand. Once or twice, she nearly seems to smile, but otherwise, she doesn’t react. As the video ends, she takes a slow, deep breath. Then she gets up off the bed and walks across the room to hand the phone to Natsuno. Up close, Natsuno might notice that somehow Camilla has Pal’s stone-grey eyes.
He also might notice that the eyes are a bottomless well of longing. Camilla Hect has not heard her necromancer’s voice in nearly a year. Technically, she never will again.
“Thank you,” she says. “The Warden told me about the Serena Eterna. He has been trying to bring you here. I told him it was impossible, but he only ever takes that kind of thing as a challenge.” A beat. “You probably want to speak with him.”
