[Cam ends up on stage too because of course he does. He's been cast as a side character—a hunter? With only one line: "Look here! Nithor!". And he said that line about twenty minutes ago and he's getting a little bored. Cam's in the wings, rocking back on his heels and watching the play when one of the prop trees totters out, yelling something or other.
Now, Cam didn't read the script but he knows better than most when a show has gone off of the rails (the boos from the audience make it pretty obvious.) The other actors are looking perplexed and there are whispers from the crew to get that damn tree off of the stage, he's ruining everything!
Cam takes a deep breath,]
Look here! Nithor! [With a flourish of his cape, Cam struts on stage. Dramatically, he points.] It is the evil Tree Demon! Uh. Barkitus Gigantor! [His acting isn't actually that great, his words over emphasized and awkward.] The lesser-known, yet still terrifying foe of Nithor, the Exalted!
[He tries to make eye contact with Manley. Come on man, they can save this together. Can they.]
