[SO, she got that whole sex education thing done and dusted. Now she's trying to figure out the device a bit more so at first it's audio.]

Okay so it's like this, and oh!

[Visuals now! Showing anyone who is watching this a woman who is. Well. Blue, literally she's the colour blue. She mutters under her breath something that sounds like "Oh like the video call" before turning her full attention to the device.

Now to ask an important question, especially after what things she has seen so far.]

... Is sex really that important here?

( Okay, hello, blue girl. She supposes she's seen stranger things around these parts... )

Sex is important everywhere, sweet thing.

[riptidequeen]

[Naturally blue, not because of air loss or anything like that even!]

It's not back on my world.

[boobytraps]

( Isabela's brow furrows. )

What do you mean it wasn't important?

[riptidequeen]

Because that's not how Gems make more Gems.

[An implied "duh" is on the end of that sentence, sorry Isabela.]

[boobytraps]

( O... kay. )

How do gems make more gems?

[riptidequeen]

By putting the right stuff in the ground and then waiting a bit and, pop, out comes a new fully formed Gem.

[You know, like you do.]

[boobytraps]

So you were grown in the ground. Like a plant.

[riptidequeen]

Kind of. [She helped grown plants so she knows!] Except plants give to the world, while well... Gems just take.

[boobytraps]

And I'm to assume that's what you are? A Gem?

[riptidequeen]

You would have assumed correctly, miss.

[boobytraps]

Do you have animals where you're from?

[riptidequeen]

Earth does, yes.

[boobytraps]

( That name means little to her but having confirmed that the girl is familiar with the concept, she continues: )

Wouldn't you say sex is important to them?

[riptidequeen]

I wouldn't know.

[Organic life stuff beyond the basics never interested her.]

[boobytraps]

It's where little animals come from, right?

[riptidequeen]

If you say so? But that doesn't mean it should be important to me.

[boobytraps]

Perhaps not for that purpose, no, but it has many others.

[riptidequeen]

I can probably get those other purposes from other things.

[It'll take a lot to get Lapis to even consider sex a thing she should do, sorry.]

[boobytraps]

Perhaps you can, but I'd recommend trying it out one of these days. ( A beat. ) I'm definitely a fan.

[riptidequeen]

... Good for you?

[boobytraps]

It is, yes!
