The response is almost instant. Cam sits up with a start, the pencil dropping from his hand and...sliding into the cast, great. The old man walking in is a surprise enough, but seeing someone come from one of the other rooms? And to that end, with a sword?

His mouth opens and closes and he looks from one to the other. Great, last time this happened, he had Hope to greet the new roomie with him, and even if neither really did a good job of it, at least they managed. Now?

Lucette chirps. "Oh! It looks like we have new roommates, Campbell!"

To his credit, Cam can manage a response that is amazingly coherent for the situation. "H-huh?"
