Luke is quiet for a moment, considering her words, then says, "I'm sorry, that sounds awful. What year was it?"
Having been in Darrow for such a long time now, he's learned what's possible here, and even before this strange city, he hadn't been one to scoff at things that might seem as crazy as time travel. Being friends with a warlock who was capable of creating portals had made it so Luke didn't see anything as being particularly impossible. So while there are some who might still find it a strange question to ask what the year was when someone left home, Luke simply considers it part of meeting people in this city.
And when it comes to Liesel, it might have a significant impact on what he can establish about the place she's from. It's entirely possible she's from a different world altogether, one that missed out on the war or saw its way through another one, but it's a place to begin.
