It's definitely different than Sam and Fortitude. Sam's not possessed, and he wonders if she doesn't know the difference between Spirit Healer and abomination, and that a great majority aren't like him. He doesn't have time to really straighten things out, though, because she's decided she's talking to Hope and starts chattering away.

For a while she keeps his full attention. Hope isn't a threat, he doesn't think she can become possessed, but there's certainly something different happening here. Not a risk, exactly. He can't pin down why he's feeling so wary.

After that time, though, he turns to half-watching while working with herbs nearby. Whether or not Beleth feels she's learning something new isn't for him to say, but it's certainly interesting to watch her try this.
