"Maybe." Camilla didn't sound too sure about that. "I don't know if anyone can help, really." Could they?
In a flash she realised exactly who could have told her what to do and how to do it -- who could have given her the magic words. Julian.
And maybe that was the key. Not that she could ask Julian anymore, or that she would if she could; but she could consult that sort of inner Julian that all his students had more or less formed, the template to living that he'd given them.
She had to ask Catelyn about Silas anyway. Catelyn's worldview, from their prior conversation at the Astronomy Tower, seemed to be quite the opposite of Julian's. Camilla wasn't likely to want to follow whatever advice she could give with regard to Henry, but it could provide a useful counterpoint, a foil against which to play what she thought Julian might have said.
"You've given me some things to think about, anyway," she said, though he really hadn't. It had all happened inside her head, in the way things often did for Camilla -- untraceable from the outside.
