...That's alright. [she's very sad kate is gone. that part isn't the part she struggles with, necessarily.] I don't want to hurt children. And... I didn't want her to feel afraid of us. [but beyond that.] It's worse to stand by and watch.
...I don't think either end of it is a great deal, Laudna.
[She'll shift her chin a little. Tucking into her shoulder better, mindful of that tender broken neck. It's a wonder her vocal cords still work, frankly.]
She's been afraid for a long time. I think she knew, probably. [Kate's too clever not to expect it. Maybe the timing was a surprise. But she had to have known.] It's better that it was quick. That's the most we could have asked for, by now.
[Well. There they had it. Precocious girl. Camille's eye closes and she just lets the warmth drift between them. It doesn't dissipate the sadness any. Feels rather like its co-mingling.]
I tried asking about the wishes, too. They wouldn't have worked. Though, that's probably obvious. Muelsyse was pretty understanding about it, but it was a dead end nonetheless.

[but she agrees. it being quick, no long painful waiting... that's the best they could do.]
