You mentioned in your original post that more than one person believes Cadell to be an impostor. If Brigh's had even a hint of that suggested to her, I think her trust is going to be in really short supply.
She's going to demand some sort of proof of loyalty. I know you're concerned about repeating information, but from Brigh's point of view, it's not repetition. This is vital information she needs in the moment.
Maybe there's another way for Cadell to prove his loyalty?
Maybe there's a way that Signy can prove her friendship---or at the very least disprove her hostility?
When language is a barrier, there are things we can still do to show our intentions.
If you're Brigh and you see me as a threat, if I kneel before you, it's more than just a sign of submission, I'm letting you have a free swing at me. If you want to kill me, you can.
Maybe that's the sort of ice-breaker you need to crack the conversation open?
