In all honesty, if she'd been hearing this all back home — she wouldn't have believed it all that much. Given the fact they've all been dumped here, she's a little more willing to believe in such a thing. Still, it's... difficult to follow along, and it's clear enough in her shifting expressions: confusion, bewilderment, a little fear. It's certainly real fantastical.
But she does try her best to follow along. It's important, and she has no reason to believe he's lying to her about anything. And in turn, she keeps her own voice low and she tries to work through it.
"So he wants to... bind himself, to this... bear spirit from a whole other culture? Like a— a wizard or something?" ... she really is trying. "And he thinks it's going to work, even when this bear spirit rejected the priest's daughter? The person I'm guessing should have been able to, after her dad? Why wouldn't it work with her?"
And Mr Hickey thinks he can do something similar with the Voice that wants them all gone. He... really thinks he's Super Special. There's a beat, before she very weakly adds:
".... I think Mr Hickey maybe needs to talk to a therapist, or something."
