Thankfully the aliens had a translation device.
In my first meeting, as I sat down, the alien opposite me said something
<This one asks for opposite's pronouns, yes?>
I blinked, and carefully weighed things.
"Yes, and mine are They/Them."
The device beeped, and then began to talk in their language for over a minute, more as I got embarrassed and tried to get it to stop and ask what was going on.
The alien responded, and the translation explained.
<This device translate context and true meaning.
This one wishes to offer opposite a hug?>
That hug didn't need translation.
