While the others were chit-chatting, Kamila's eyes fell on the figures of Solus and Nyka while they walked away and then on Rethia's.
'She's over one thousand years old and she barely looks thirty-something.' Kamila thought. 'I'll turn twenty-nine the next year whereas Lith will look in his twenties for decades, if not centuries. Should I ask him to Awaken me?'

On top of that, there was the possibility that with time their relationship might go sour. If it happened, she would be forced to live for centuries in a world that didn't belong to her anymore.
