Right. We've got enough cans of worms to deal with here without opening up more of them. [Klan is decidedly a straightforward kind of woman - she prefers to deal with what's immediately in front of her than the theoretical, unless she's strategising. And even then, she generally has to do that on the fly, because that's just how things go when you're in a job as unpredictable as fighter piloting.

Klan flips the page she's on slightly to see if the section on these things in general goes over it, though it seems like she's not just reading about her own kind of genasi at this point.] Maybe it's the same kinds of words, but that's the end of the significance. Even though we're all from different worlds, a lot of people seem to be familiar with the same sorts of things, and I doubt everyone is from some variant of Earth.

[She's met at least one other alien by this point, who had clearly been similar enough to humans in various respects to mate with one. In Klan's world it's explained to a degree by Protoculture, but she doubts every world has that, either.]
