Dheman Romance with a Twist

A Terran (human) lady who resides on Dhema meets an eligible Dheman bachelor, in the company of her
friend --an off-world widowed scholar in anthropology and archaeology (Dr. Itzalia Izata isn't human, btw)
--and under the watchful eyes of their Dheman nyal (gender-neutral) friend, who also serves as a proper
chaperon/companion.

The Dhemans adhere to a quasi Regency/Victorian cultural and social structure. They are very principled,
disciplined and honourable. The three genders are a unique feature among their people and 1 of 5 births
are nyal, a 'neutral' semi-androgynous looking gender that are typically bright coloured as opposed to the
richer, more jewel-tone hues mentioned for others of their species (which has included blue, burgundy
and purple, if memory serves me correctly). The nyal serve as a natural form of population control. The
males have small horns that grow in at full adulthood. Some females may also develop small horns.
