...unless people are assuming that the pregnancy period in Seeker's is exceptionally shorter to humans, which we have no reason to believe is the case.
As for the discussion about whether or not challenges happen 'that' frequently, I kind of imagine that tias would generally have the same respect for nunh's that females would. After all, they have proven themselves and strength is one of those seemingly, near-universally, respected traits among the tribal kin.
I have difficulty imagining a scenario like:
"Look, I know you beat me last week... but I really think that these past seven days have really made you significantly weaker and I deserve the position more than you now. So let's do this"
haha, I actually think that based on the small text you see in game that breeding for Nunh's is scheduled and not overtly romanticized at all. The U' tribe is a great place to see this.
However - I am all for the fact that inter-racial tensions are a thing. My favorite roleplays revolve around not even racial - but sometimes cultural views on things.
The other night I saw a Dusk and a Wildwood elezen arguing over political stations in Gridania. One of the -best- roleplays I have seen to this date. I was even worried if they were mad OOC but was assured otherwise.
When people take the lore for how it is, roleplay it out and act on that I grin. Its a fantastic world setting and I think that playing out the aspects of society and their hostility is a great way to bring light on that. Even in reality not everyone likes each other.
heck, look at the 'look what you did to meeee' rivalries between Scotland and England, and the 'I have no idea why they dont like each other' relationships between Canada and America, or New Zealand and Australia.
