Blood is Mine has taken over my brain

Bloodspeech is much better than English at conveying information, but struggles with tone and emotion.

Jane’s bloodspeech has an “accent,” in that she conveys emotion in ways bloodspeech doesn’t normally do. Her English dialogue isn’t written out, but it’s mentioned that it has a “bloodspeech accent.” Presumably, that means she conveys information really well.

You know those characters whose thing is that they’re really good at conveying plot exposition? In Blood is Mine, that’s the heroine.
