On the contrary, for us to have offspring, we do not need to work
together. Men can be quite forcible (actually so can women).

Also, let's say that rather than Grook, Raja, Human, Atavian, or any

mermaids are available, as well as numerous species of non-sentient
forms of life, and even a few undead. You see, it just takes a bit of
experimenting to create children from a new source.

Penned by my hand on the 16th of Lupar, in the year 283 AF.
