She gets points for originality, even if Bard has no idea what an "allele" even is.

"A whole kingdom, and they may lead lives easily three times those of men besides." Because "lethal" he does understand, at least on its own. "They're the best builders and crafters in the world, and even their women have fuller beards than many young human men, or so I've always been told." Which is all just completely related to the genetics of humans on Earth, so good luck figuring that one out.
