Depends? Nobody talks about HP in real life, but they definitely talk about the dangers, and how safe our lives are. But, being a game, you can use any conventions you want to explain it and if it's well written it'll be accepted and enjoyed :]

Like, say, only certain people being able to see Life Capsules and many others not being able to see it?
And, in the case of a young heroine, had lost 7 max HP on her 12<sup class='bbc'>th</sup> birthday due to a mysterious "Taint"?

It sounds a little awkward to me: addressing HP through dialog, unless it's system/narration text. But, I guess you can make it work if this HP value system is part of that world's lore. Like he's a lvl 7. She's a lvl 3. Or something...

...If I were trying to explain it myself... Maybe I'd do something like: (screen blacks out, shows the young heroine walking and shows health at 10) "<Charname> was weaker than most adventurer's her age. Early in life a mysterious "taint" struck." (Show health decrease by -7) "It was their 12th birthday when ..."
Well, any way you want to do it will make sense I'm sure!
