Aren't Niun, Raen Meth-Maren and Altair Jones about 17, too?  (Or the
equivalent in mri years.)  Plus Pyotr and Sascha from the Russian
fantasies.  Seems like 17 is a popular age to have disastrous problems
(or, as a friend who's a social worker at a halfway house put it,
"issues to address") -- regardless of sex or species.
