Ben is comfortable with being silent, and nearby, and keeping himself out of things unless he is needed. So far, the tension is still fairly high, but it had been promising, Cole speaking to Ami in a relatively straightforward way, Ami reaching out her hand for him to hold. Maybe this will go well, after all.

He stays alert, though, ready to step in at a moment's notice, or to help translate as much as he might be able to if Cole's words are too abstract for Ami to follow without the (slightly more) context that Ben has.

When Cole draws back, away from Ami, Ben reaches out to him, not quite touching his shoulder, not wanting to distract him from his task, but ready to steady him if he loses his balance - physically or otherwise. And he looks up at Ami, expression concerned and hopeful.

"So... it's not like possession, after all? Ami will stay Ami, she'll just remember the other stuff?"

Then perhaps Cole won't need to be scared, and Ami won't need to be scared, and they'll all... be okay, after all.
