Moonspear 'cause they got powers and stuff

Every man is ready, but not every male will do.

Only a strong man. She nodded her head in acknowledgement and remembered the conversation with Kun. He'd assured her that the sea would someday bring a man. Ying didn't like that idea because she wanted her mate now, without having to depend on someone else's timing. However, she wasn't willing to accept the first available suitor. He needed to be strong-willed and able-bodied, two characteristics often absent in those she encountered.

Hydra continued with her explanation. The description of motherhood was congruent to Ying's assumptions, but the details came as a surprise. She imagined herself with children and was washed in a wave of both terror and angst. Would she ever be given the chance? Ying wanted to hope that she would, despite her current situation. You sound like a good mother. It would have been impossible for Hydra to feel such emotion, were she anything but devoted. 

She rolled her shoulders and breathed a short sigh. Smiling, Ying asked: How do you meet your mate? Ying enjoyed stories, but found particular interest in romance. The tales of others were often entertaining, if not something to learn from.
