There's pieces that Peter hasn't told him about here. But - everything that Héctor does know about Ben hangs together here. It's Ben all right, or at least some form of him. God only knows what he's doing here.
"Of course I am," Ben says. His tone is kind, human; he doesn't sound monstrous at first. "Peter, come on. You know me. Tell this guy I'm all right."
It's a very good thing that Héctor has that hand out to stop Peter. He jolts forward as soon as Ben speaks - only to freeze again, temporarily halted by Héctor's hand. He's strong enough to push past Héctor if he wanted to, but. Trust keeps him in place for now. "Uncle Ben," he says again, voice wobbling. "I - what are you doing here? Are you okay?"
It's an echo of Héctor's question too. Clearly this ... person in front of them is undead, and maybe not the good kind. He just sighs a little, taking a step towards the both of them. Eyes fixed on Héctor specifically. "Why don't you back off, eh?" he says, his tone hardening into something edged and unpleasant. "Or did you replace me already, Peter?"
