In a Seeker society though, what happens when a female falls in love with a Tia? It it frowned on or scorned? Even worse, what if they have children together? Are they banished from the tribe, or allowed to stay?
Hmm...
I think that as another contributor wrote (sorry this is a long discussion to track you down ;p) the Tia's living within the tribe could be tolerated by the Nuhn if there were harmless to his power, like a relative.
Maybe love could exist between an innocuous Tia and a female. Of course their love would be openly platonic in a way we, as largely monogamous Humans wouldn't understand and would be separate from breeding. Also more traditional love might provoke Miqo'te couples to leave the tribe, causing all kinds of great RP possibilities.
This whole Miqo'te societal structure thing is fascinating.
