"A few weeks." Cam had arrived shortly before LongNight, and they'd heard the stories, of course -- people had been very clear that they should get out of town before the darkness drew in. "I mean, I know that stuff's rough, but I don't know -- there's got to be some good stuff that comes out of it too. It's definitely more interesting than my last job."
"Carriages" told Cam a little about what time period Adam's old world had been in, and they took a moment to reassess him in the light of his former occupation. Probably a potentially dangerous guy, but Cam had a feeling that looking intimidated would only encourage him to further intimidate them. So ... play it cool. (If they'd known about Adam's less-than-deadly habits, they would have been more at ease, but oh well.) "So you were a highwayman? I mean, that's what we called it in my world, but it hasn't really been a thing for, oh, a century and a half? Not in my part of the world, anyway."
Cam almost mentioned that they'd never even held a gun, then decided that maybe advertising their inability to defend themself wasn't a good idea, even if Adam seemed decent.
