[Rowan lets him think, tucking their legs up underneath them and watching him. They hadn't meant for this conversation to happen now, but, well. They're never going to get more prepared. And maybe the sooner it happens, the sooner Jackie can start to find a bit more comfort in his body. Because he deserves that every bit as much as Vax does, as much as Rowan deserved it when they were seeking the answers.]
I dunno how it is in other languages, again, but in English some words have gendered connotations. You know, pretty or beautiful for a woman, handsome for a man. Sometimes people would prefer to use just one side, or to avoid them altogether. And parts too, some people'd prefer not to use the name for what's there. For me, both are irrelevant enough not to bother me, as long as the parts stuff is kept to sexual context only, so only in the bedroom.
[Rowan pauses, and then tilts their head.] Actually, that's a good point. If we do take collared stuff outside of the bedroom, I'll need to think what you can call me where other people can hear it, because some of the things I normally allow will be out.
