The woman was a full-on changeling, like Kitsune.  Except where Kitsune was a fox, this young woman was...a squirrel?  It was kind of off, but it was certainly the closest animal on hand that anyone except maybe an animal expert could really think of - including both of the females present.<br/><br/>The speech had definitely been English, but a little bit accented...an accent that Elisabeth would find vaguely familiar.  Of course, once the woman was on her back, all English went out the window and she started wailing in some foreign language - though it was probably Western given the cant of it.  It looked like getting answers out of her wasn't going to work at the moment...<br/><br/>"O<em><strong>nee</strong></em>sama!"  Musubi's voice cut through the cries, gently disapproving.  She put the gun down and came over.  "Look at her!  She's already scared, and your threatening her has only terrified her!"  She knelt down next to both of them.  "She doesn't want to hurt us...if she wanted to do that, she would have already."  She directed a beatific smile at the squirrel.  "You're not here to hurt us, right?"<br/><br/>The squirrel girl shook her head vigorously no.<br/><br/>"You just want our help, right?"<br/><br/>An equally energetic yes.<br/><br/>Musubi put a hand on Elisabeth's shoulder.  "Oneesama, you can let her go now."  She addressed the squirrel again.  "What's your name, sweetie?"<br/><br/>"L-lise...Lise Rolante..."  Was the squirrel's half-choked reply.
