Luca showed the hair on his arms and patted the hair on his chest. "Yes, we have some. Our ancestors had much more. Like monkeys and apes. Other apes. We humans are a kind of ape, you know. A mostly bald ape, but yes. One of those." 

He then turned to take Sasha's question. "It is safe, but I don't blame you if you are nervous. Dracons use that magic too on their eggs. In fact, it was invented by dracon gods. Well, gods from the dracon pantheon. Of course, I won't insist on it. As for how it works, that depends. Some mages are able to use the magic outright, but we aren't really mages here."

"Like Danae. Oh, that's Avera's mother. Avera is Caex's wife and a human. And Caex is my brother, a dracon. Their son, Auryn, is my nephew. He's also a dracon. Danae is a mage who had magics much like what you are describing" Kos explained.

"Yes. Like that. Sort of. It's not using magic to conceive a child, but it does promote certain qualities. Like strength or height" Luca continued.
