but we all reach the same end.

[Zuri appears, wearing an old cloak that reaches the ground and her mask. Not for long though, she's pretty sick of wearing these things so she pulls the cloak off after a moment, laying it on the ground like a blanket. She sits on it and takes off her mask as well, setting it next to her.

She looks faintly frustrated...and to those uh sensitive to some things different in other ways. Those with a sharp sense of smell might notice she smells different. She's in the Lemurian equivalent of estrus physically. It's nothing obvious, slightly flushed skin, and slightly swollen breasts. She might seem more attractive to some men...especially those of her own species :|]

[She sighs, obviously not thinking very highly of this annoyance.]

A distraction...does this make me less qualified?

[It surprises her but she misses human company. Somewhat.]

It's strange to suddenly feel so isolated.

I'm making you uncomfortable.

And... [Well, she actually feels a bit awkward,] It...affects me as well.

[Is silent for a loooooooooooooooooooooong while, then finally, ] I've a feeling I was only told half the story....

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

Half the story? In what way?

[lamb_of_gold]

I learned almost nothing of our kind's females.

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

Oh. [She's not sure what to make of that.]

...did you want me to...teach you about females of our kind?

[lamb_of_gold]

I believe I've a book of it. Somewhere.

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

...there are books on such things?

[lamb_of_gold]

Thankfully.

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

As long as Shion isn't the one who wrote it.

[lamb_of_gold]

[This is Mu holding back a laugh] Oh by Athena I'd hope not.

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

It would involve nothing except keeping them at arm's length.

[Smiles, glad that the weird tension is gone. She doesn't like UST :|]

[lamb_of_gold]

And the eternal question of why the reader is even looking, instead of doing something productive.

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

I'm not certain what a book would tell you though. Knowing about the biology did little to prepare me for the effects.

[lamb_of_gold]

What to expect, at least.

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

What to expect from me...? [Head tilt. At the very least Mu's not going all red like Atla.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Exactly.

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

Isn't it simpler to just ask me? The book will not teach you anything about me.

[lamb_of_gold]

Would that not be imposing?

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

I don't think it would be.

[lamb_of_gold]

At any rate, I've no idea where to begin.

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

I could explain the physical...condition if you would like.

[lamb_of_gold]

[She may notice that his hands are in fists.] Start where you'd like.

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

[Eyes his fists.]

Do you want me to? Would you rather use a book?

[lamb_of_gold]

I think it may be more beneficial to hear it from you...

[hua-fei.livejournal.com]

[Presses her lips together.]

In Lemurian females estrus is triggered by the proximity of sexually mature Lemurian males or copulation with males of other compatible species. I have...lived with only Atla and Master Hakurei for some time so it was not an immediate concern.

[Clears her throat a little, trying not to make it sound like it's Mu's fault even though...it kind of is.]

I was told it was so that females have a larger chance of reproducing, since there are so few of them and our people live in such isolated areas. I haven't noticed any large physical changes but I seem to be having an inadvertant affect on...males.
