Scout's not actually body shy, like at all, but she still tends towards concealing, multilayered clothing and all in just one of two styles and the same handful of colors. Her Star Guardian uniform had been cut and layered similarly to the robes she sometimes wears, with less and lighter fabric.

She doesn't want to tell him very much because she knows him well enough to expect mockery if she digs deeply enough into any of it, like if I could've done that maybe I wouldn't have had to run while everyone I love died. So Scout says "It was a rush. All that power."
