Qi Yan has never much thought about it. It is difficult to explain what is not clear even to her. "I don't know. There has always been an external need, so I can't say how it would be if I had the choice. I have no desire, now, to start dressing as a woman and answer to feminine titles." She gives Magnus a little smile. "I don't expect you to diagnose me, like a physician." She just wondered what it would be like to take advantage of her apparent safety here, and say things she has not been able to say. Her gender became common knowledge in the Wei kingdom just before she left it, so it feels as though the secret has already been half-exposed. Otherwise she might have kept it a little longer, truth spell or no.
