A trip out as Camilla

Camilla insists you keep possessing her so you both can get used to the sensation as the three of you go to talk to Gilford.

"Aren't you worried about what the go- what Eve will do when she comes to?" Kara asks as you leave.

"It's fine. I used another blessing to make sure she can't hurt anyone unless I say it's okay." You wave her concerns away. "Which I won't."

Kara looks a little relieved to hear 'Cammy' say that, and as you begin walking toward the church, she takes your hand. You're confused at first, but then you remember who you are right now, and decide to try to let the captain take the lead on that. "Are you sure you want to do that with him here?"

"Why not? You're still you, despite the company." Kara's warm smile noticeably relaxes Camilla, as you feel her shoulders become a bit less tense. "This does make our relationship feel a bit more real though. Even if it's not just us, it'll look and feel like it's just us going up to church. Maybe people will think we're trying to have a kid." She giggles.

You feel 'your' cheeks heat up as Camilla responds, forcing you to look away. "I mean, we kind of are having a kid..."

"Oh, Cammy, you want me to bear your child? I'd love to!" Kara wraps herself around 'your' arm, giggling all the more.

Now the captain's entire face heats up, but you notice that she's not refuting the idea of a pregnant Kara (or maybe thinking of herself pregnant with Kara's child) and stays silent as the 'two' of you approach Ramel's temple. You enter the open archway, noting once more the lack of people. I mean, it's convenient, but it feels like the church is here just for show...

"Greetings, children. Back so soon?" Gilford looks down on you as you approach him. "This isn't about...you-know-what, is it?"

I have a name, old man.

"Related, but there's something we'd like to show you, and it's a bit weird, if I'm honest." Camilla responds as casually as she can with Kara curled around her arm. "I can't make heads or tails of it, but is there any chance you can cure amnesia?"

"I...I've never tried, but I'm willing to. Is it able to wait until this evening? I'll try to pray first for guidance, and I'm expecting news on another matter as well."

"Perfect. You know where to find us." Camilla awkwardly walks around Kara to turn around and walk out the church.

"And don't forget to eat plenty, Captain!"

The brunette facepalms as you all exit the church as she mutters under her breath. "Why not just announce it to the whole village?"

Kara squeezes the captain's arm. "Well, people are going to find out eventually. It's not like you can just have a secret pregnancy, especially in this town."

'Your' gaze lowers. "...what if I could, though?"

Kara chuckles before realizing Camilla's serious and looks at 'you' with sad eyes. "Are you really that ashamed of your kid? What, will you say you found them on the side of the road?"

"No! Maybe... I don't know, I guess I'm just thinking out loud."

Now you feel the moment to step in, speaking more quietly so only Kara and Camilla will hear among the small crowd of the town. "It's not like I can stay hidden forever, either. Even if all of you keep quiet, I'm going to slip up someday."

Kara squeezes 'your' hand in her own. "So what's keeping you from telling everyone now?"

"Image. Sure, I've helped kill a hornet queen, but I need to do more if the average person here is going to accept me as a person and not a monster. Plus, rumors are going to spread fast if I reveal myself, and I can't risk any big players coming after me right now."

"'Big players' referring to the Saintesses." Camilla finishes the thought.

"And also those like the Demon King. I'm just as much their enemy as I am their ally, if we're just...looking at...my biology..." You release Kara's hand and grab onto shoulder to steady yourself. Your knees suddenly feel weak, and you're breathing's gotten heavier. "Cap, is this you or is something up?"

Kara wraps her arm around you to help you keep walking. "Are you okay? Do you need food? Water?"

"Oh...fuck me... This definitely isn't me, Private... This is all you..." Camilla's face flushes. You squint your borrowed eyes. You realize she's right, the thread connecting you to her transferring...something along its length.

"Come on, then. Let's get you both back." Kara urges you along as you now begin catching stares from the passerby.

It's a much longer trek back to the barracks, and along the way, you finally figure out what's happening. Is she...getting horny because of me? What could be happening to cau-... Your borrowed eyes widen. "I think...Eve woke up..." You open the door once you reach it, finding Eve attempting to bottom herself out on your human form.
