"Why are there only women in the village?"

"Why are there only women in the village?" you inquire. "Everyone I met yesterday, even the Elders..." you trail off, trying to remember the face of every elf you've ever met. Now that you're thinking about it, every elf you've even just seen in passing has been female.

"Oh, you didn't know?" Siora replies while trying (and failing) to pull on a pair of pants. Frustrated, she kicks her pants back off and sits on the edge of the bed to give you a full explanation. "Well, it's fairly common knowledge that us elves are matriarchal, but not many non-elves know that there are no male elves."

Siora reads the confusion on your face at this statement, as she pauses and turns towards you as you ask, "Well then how do you..."

"How do we repopulate?" she interrupts, posing the question much more tactfully than you would have. "Well, when we mate with other sentient races, our offspring is always a female elf. I guess our bloodlines are very strong..." she adds, staring out the window to ponder her own words.

You can see that Siora is pondering something for a while, but you don't want to press her for it. You are not sure what to say in response to this information, and she looks a bit embarrassed to be sharing this with you.

Thankfully for both of you, the awkwardness is broken by a loud knock at the front door.
