[Talking about Steven is easy. Easier than talking about herself.]

My kind doesn't normally . . . have children? [Uncertainty there, because it's still a relatively strange concept, even having met a few children at this point. So strange to think of anyone being able to produce a small, underdeveloped being and have it grow and change.]

But one met a human, and . . . I'm not sure how it happened, but I think she must have had the right powers. She had a child with him. She gave up her own existence for it and gave her gem -- that's the core of who we are -- to him.

He had to grow up like a human. In a lot of ways he is human. But he doesn't age the same way. He can shapeshift and fuse. He has abilities like a Gem.

Her gem has stayed with him, set in the same place as hers was. He's . . . definitely both. The only one who's ever been both.
