...how strange. [Vastra does look rather confused by this revelation.] Has it become custom in your time to share absolutely everything that could be mildly disquieting? [When did minding one's own business go out of style, she wonders... Of course, even in Vastra's time and place there was speculation and rumor and questions. Some things were easy to say, others dug deeper.]

I do enjoy a closer bond through sharing experiences, however I am also aware that not everything is easily explained to friends.
