“There is in you a fear, a shame, placed there by one who knew no better. I tell you to think on this: the shay’a’chern pairing occurs in nature. How then, ‘unnatural’? Usual, no; and not desirable for the species, else it would die out for lack of offspring. But not unnatural. The beasts of the field are innocent as man could never be, who has the knowledge of good and evil and the choice between, and they do not cast out of their ranks the shay’a’chern. There was between you and your shay’kreth’ashke, much love—only love. There is no shame in loving.”

Magic’s Pawn (1989) by Mercedes Lackey
