[Sheena's embarrassed reaction just gets another laugh out of Padparadscha, this one a bit softer in mind of not embarrassing her too much more.]

I've been here for a few months now, so I've seen all sorts of reactions to me by now. But no, my people don't have gender. We have no need to make more of ourselves like living things do.

[Which is Padparadscha's primary understanding of what gender is "for", based on what they've seen of living things.]

I feel as if it's something born of experience, so if nothing comes to you, then it's not a problem. The time it takes will most likely pass in the blink of an eye to me.
