[ There is a tense silence, though it's not really aimed at Anders.
Sam had been in a coma and he hadn't known, hadn't been there to help his
friend. It was scary, thinking Sam might not have woken up. ]
I'm trying to think of a way to explain it, but I know nothing of your world so I've no idea how much of ours seems intuitive and how much is unfamiliar. In short, though, after 11 years of sharing my body there's been some... merging. And no one knows how to evict a spirit or demon even right after it's happened, so what we're trying are all theoretical applications of magic that seemed the most realistic out of a stack of ridiculous, impractical, and/or impossible options.
[ He wasn't one for magic, but got the gist of it. Anders and some
other... person, thing, were sharing the same body and Anders wanted his
own had space back again. Except they were having trouble doing that. Lots
of it. He felt bad for Anders - it had to be hard, he thought, knowing you
are never literally alone, perhaps even inside your own. ]
No, I get wanting to have your own room to speak after 11 years. I'm sorry
this time didn't work out, but if you try again, let me know. I'm not sure
what help I can actually be, but I'll do what I can.
I'm a fair hand at fighting and I have emergency medical skills. I'm no
healer, but I know what to do to keep a person alive long enough for one to
get to them. I'm no stranger to fight, if you feel there's going to be one.
I'm useless on the magic side of things.

What were you all even trying to accomplish?

I'm possessed by a spirit of Justice. We're trying to get him back home, to the Fade. It's not been done before.

[ Spirits. Magic. None of it made a lot of sense to him, but he couldn't deny something was going on. ]
And clearly easier said than done.

[Because if someone's willing, he's not going to ignore that.]

[ Haha Anders. ]
That's Sam's special skill, not mine.

And we'll see how the cats like you.
