Aside from the fact that they would ask what had happened and she'd have to lie so much more than she would if he did, she's heard from the various people around Shades Darker that he's different than the Sanctuary types, which most everyone seems to appreciate.

Her hair hangs down just long enough to cover the tops of the still healing scars that reach from her lower back up to just under her shoulder blades, all of them the deep purpley-red of a newer scar not yet faded, the color standing out starkly against her pale skin.
And then she just waits expectantly, far too used to having parts of her examined by strangers to feel any sort of embarrassment. ]
