"The storm" doesn't mean anything to Lirael, but she can at least sympathize. If it's like the Charter, then maybe it's something magical and comforting, as well, or another kind of power source. So she nods, looking a little lost, still, but at least not afraid of Saori in particular. Lirael might notu nderstand what's going on, but at least this woman doesn't seem to mean her ill, and does understand something of where she comes from. She can worry about her lack of memory later. "So we are without our... our source of strength," she guesses. "In somewhere where there are monsters and dragons battling. That is not the Kingdom, and not Luceti."

At this point, she's just listing what little they know, which probably isn't all that helpful, but it helps her order her mind a little. She straightens her back a little, trying to call back a little confidence. "We should find someone else. Maybe-- they'll know more."
