It's not your fault, Cameron. Victor's default state is nervous and worried, and doing something so against his old morals just makes that worse. He tries to smile back at Cameron -- he doesn't want her to worry about him. This isn't her problem. "I'm -- fine. I just--" He isn't sure how to finish that sentence, honestly. All the endings he's thinking of sound off-kilter somehow. Never had anyone in my room before? Never had a GIRL in my room before? My mother would kill me for this. . .
Then Cameron pats his arm -- obviously a comforting gesture, but it still makes him feel a little awkward, given his mental state. "I'm sorry," he says, shaking his head. "I'm just -- always a b-bit nervous."
Maybe not comforting in the usual sense, but Victor can't help a slightly morbid smile. Sometimes the way she speaks can be rather darkly amusing. "W-we'll have to be sure to build them correctly, then," he says, moving to stand by her (though not too close) as she flips through his book. They'll see a lot of pictures much like this (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Butterfly_parts.svg) and the ones here (http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/butterfly/anatomy/Wings.shtml).
