The youth looked intrigued, and only in part by the request. His manner hinted that he had heard men plead for other men's lives before. "And that's all you want, this man's life?"
"You said anything. I told you what I want. It never hurts to ask, right? I'll take gold, if that's what you want to give me, however much it was worth to you."
"A careful answer." Those confident eyes continued their study of him. "Surely you guessed that I meant to kill you after. Why didn't you ask for your life? How do you know I have changed my mind?"
Cam met his question honestly. "Because if you mean to let me live, I'll live—and I might also get what I asked for. And if you mean to kill me, you'll do it anyway."
The young Lord smiled.
