Had you already killed Boratus in the Dark Forest before following the gem trail?
There is an NPC storage room that the game uses for NPCs that die, move around to different spots, or who only show up temporarily (like Seth going to Aleroth until the escort quest is resolved). This is described briefly in the topic '
Reviving dead NPCs', though it doesn't contain much I have not already said, except for another
screenshot.
For some reason Boratus was in that room, so that was where the cutscene moved the camera focus when it was his time to talk.

BTW, if you edit your other post in the Beyond Divinity forum, there is a 'delete this post' button beside the 'change this post' button, which will remove the topic, as well (as long as nobody replies to it). This will not drop your post count.
