Cedar Sweep I dropped the berry in a stream

"Oh," said Saena in a tone coloured with surprise, and maybe a hint of disbelief. She didn't mean to judge, but as she swept her eyes once more over Ragna's frame, she couldn't understand. Ragna looked like a female and sounded like a female, for the most part. Her accent was different, thicker, distinct... but not masculine. She even smelled like a female.

"How does that work?" she wondered, hoping it wouldn't come off too impolitely. Saena's father had been into males, but she could remember neither Peregrine nor his sexual preferences. Her contact with wolves who didn't follow the "natural order", as it were, was limited. She was interested, of course, but also ignorant, and couldn't guess whether that would turn Ragna off her or make her want to continue talking about it.

She flipped her ears back and tried to look sheepish as she added, "I've just never heard of that before."
