Raine tilts her head a little. "I was inquiring about the reasons behind the traditions," she explains. "It appears to be something to do with purity, of course, but there's an element of demonstrating that one has nothing to hide. In that case, I don't imagine taking your hair down will hurt your case."

She's wearing a bracelet, too -- her own soul gem, in contrast to the exsphere at her throat -- but that's it. Raine smiles a little wryly, tracking Padmé's gaze, and gestures to herself. "My fiancé's work," she says, by way of explanation for the shadows. "A technicality. Not clothing, and it functionally hides nothing; but it is pretty, and it provides some tactile feedback." And indeed, the relative translucence means she's still effectively in the same boat as everyone else. Only a bit more magically.

"Raine Sage," she says, and extends a hand. "I run the Healers' Guild."
