The warm bloods scales did no retract while they slept... I would not expect all of them to do so, of course. It just seems odd that none of them did.
Perhaps it is not the right time of year?
-xe turns to Estelle- I'm assuming she's a woman? o_O;
Also, I wanted to congratulate you on your children, as is customary, though twins is extraordinary. I pray to my ancestors that you will be well.

Eviltext is Lilith(though she's not in the room at the moment). Pinktext is Yuno.
(Double Take) KIDS?!

-Mulls this over, trying to figure out how to phrase this to an alien-
Okay... you've noticed there are two slightly different varieties of warm bloods of the same species, right? For humans and humanoids such as Estelle, Yuno and myself, they're generally more easily distinguishable at adulthood. One kind, like myself, has a slightly deeper voice, and generally tends to be larger... -Laments his shortness briefly- ... the other has the two mammary glands on the front, and they tend to have higher voices. We also move differently.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistI do not know what 'kids' are, but larvae are the young proto-forms of a species.
I believe I saw one earlier, alongside some sort of scaled creature... Daisy and Daisy, is what they said they were called.
-xe twitches xyr antennas, before xyr eyes go wide at Cloud's words-
I... I had wondered why half of the warm bloods seemed to be pregnant with twins, and always in the same pattern across their forms...
-xe nods-
That makes sense, though such a strange idea...
-Nods- The ones like myself are referred to as male. Ones like Estelle are referred to as female.
In order for offspring to be produced, a pair between two of us need to be produced. Pairs between two males and two females can be formed, but only a male/female pair can produce offspring. A strong emotional bond usually helps, as well. Does your species have something like that?
Does anyone want tea, by the way?
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon Alchemist-Avax looks at Yuno with surprise-
'He'...? I... hmm... I imagine my species must seem quite different.
-xe turns to Cloud-
Not really. We form clans, and as we sleep in a group, our scales sometimes retract. I have seen it, as a day-watcher, the process. Some emit a purple vapour, which settles onto the scales of others, and embeds itself.
-xe scratches xyr back-
I myself once fell pregnant on my back, near the right shoulder.
Avax is the only member of xyr species, the ahmun, currently here. Also, xyr voice is deep, but has a sort of 'ethereal reverb' to it. And xyr's lips/teeth don't move while xe speaks.
Perhaps... well, thank you for explaining.
-xe's antennas twitch at the smell of the tea-
Hmm... tastes intriguing. May I try some?
Okay...
So, there's a process involved where the male will insert a certain organ into the female and release several haploid cells. One of these will combine with the female's haploid cell to form an embryo, which will gestate inside the female for a period of time — for humans and similar species, nine months. Then the female gives brith.
-Pours him some-
...That's about it. The mammary glands are generally just for food for the child.
-Scratches his neck-

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistHmm... strange. -xe shakes xyr head-
No, I think I prefer our method. Less mess. Less potential distraction. That, and our larvae can eat solid food from birth. But to each their own, I suppose.
-xe looks at the cup before gripping it very carefully with his heavy sharp right claw, gently lifting it towards xyr antennas, which promptly wiggle across it furiously while xe stares at the cup-
Mmm... that's quite delicious, but hot.
-xe promptly pours it into xyr mouth all in one go-

-Tommy wakes up and stretces-
Good morning people!
-so does Estelle-
-Tomo is probably hunting for humans with Lillith-
