[Every word that leaves her is more unbelievable than the last, and his anger reaches a boiling point. Were it not completely improper to do so, he would have lashed out by now.

But it is improper and she is his sister like it or not, so he doesn't. His hands clench and unclench at his sides for a moment before he moves by her toward the door. He almost leaves without saying anything.

Almost.]

...Despite what's become of you, I'm glad you're alive.

[The words are bitter, angry, but no less true. She's his sister, and while that might not mean anything to her anymore, it certainly does to him.]

As long as you keep your mouth shut, we won't have a problem.

[And with that he's gone, refusing to look back at her for even a moment.

He has a very important letter he needs to write to father, after all.]

[Finally, she can have some peace and quiet with the wyverns. At least, that's what she hopes when Xander leaves, but then he says--

...

Why is he glad that she's alive? That's the last thing she wants to hear from the man who she's very certain is her sworn enemy, and Camilla scoffs at his words. They're pretty lies with no meaning behind them, nothing at all.]

I suppose I'll keep that in mind.

[That's stated long after he's gone, and quite frankly, Camilla could care less about him. She'll keep her mouth closed so long as he keeps his, after all.

...She's not going to look forward to explaining why she's so tense to Lorenz later, but it's fine. It'll be fine. Camilla just needs to keep calm, that's all.]
