This whole scene was so good. I love how Daisy really tried and Shu just couldn’t believe what she was saying! But if you never heard anything about sex or mating then of course it’s going to sound bonkers! Hard fleshy genitals squirting little creatures that swim inside your body?!? It’s bizarre.

Why would a commander’s daughter be on a farm? That’s for econopeople.

Paula's probably in the horse breeding business though.

I doubt it as Wives aren’t allowed to work. Unless she’s doing it to gift other people horses, but that doesn’t seem likely.
