[Despite being an adventurer, Cam is more built for spells and throwing daggers, and the hand on Cam's wrist easily stops him short, and Boxer's intimidating figure and serious gaze cuts Cam's incessant hollering short.
There's a beat of silence, then Cam scoffs, pulling his hand away if Boxer will let him,]
I think I know what I'm doing. [He gestures to the sleeping Tiefling, but despite his apparent dismissal of Boxer's advice, he doesn't make a move to continue his earlier antics.] Jiutou loves it when I wake her up.
[He laughs at his own dumb joke (Jiutou hates it when he wakes her up) but it comes out forced and half-hearted. As relieved as he is to see his friends make it off the planet safely, seeing Jiutou like this—not awake, but not really in any sort of natural sleep—sets him ill at ease. Unbidden memories of Elora holding Jiutou's lifeless body spring to mind. He'd gone through hell to bring her back last time, what would he need to do to bring her back this time? And the rest of them?]
