I was more working off of the idea that Aeryn and Reliyian are both quite high lore, so a combined knowledge of anatomy and deductive skills would let either of them figure it out. Eshalu has a significant body of time in the wilderness, and so might at least recognize the difference between a cloacal opening and that which would contain male genitalia.<br/><br/>And no tits on a humanoid species? But then what will you motorboat? Won't you think of the motorboaters? (In seriousness, yes, I recognize and acknowledge the peeve.)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>TUP - good point about the hemipenis. Eshalu could certainly recognise the difference between males and females of species she has regularly encountered, but because I've established she comes from a cool temperate / subarctic climate, large intelligent reptiles would generally live only in myth (broadly termed "Cold Ones") or encountered very rarely - so the Saurian is perhaps a little bewildering for her (hence her initial consternation, despite the diminutive size of the spear-lizards).
