Barrow Fields this distance's never felt quite right

Moorhen blinked at the woman, ears flickering rapidly as she tried to take in all the words - but they came too fast and they were put together in complicated ways that Coelacanth certainly never used, and Moorhen was left with the odd feeling that the stranger had an accent - which was new. Usually, Moorhen was the one whose accent made things difficult. She could already tell that this was going to be a tiring encounter, but something in the stranger's speech kept her tethered there.

"You have... lost someone?" she asked, hoping dearly that this was the case, if only so that she didn't make a fool of herself.
