Billie nodded as Ro'vana finished her story, then let her eyes flick over to where Aliss was investigating what her Twi'lek client claimed to be a Rancor skull. It certainly looked like it could be one, and she had no reason to doubt her. Unfortunately, Billie was quite unfamiliar with the skeletal remains of animals. She was perfectly fine keeping things that way, too. The Sephi woman had no desire to familiarize herself with the dead, though she would not shun Ro'vana for her fascination with it.
"Of course." The designer stood, pulling up the garment bag with her. "We will give you some privacy for a moment while you put on the dress. Then I will return to mark adjustments and such," she explained. Billie would then hand the garment bag to Ro'vana to hold and motion for Aliss to follow her while they briefly stepped out of the room.
"Do you find her collections strange?" Aliss asked of Billie once the two of them had shut the door behind them. For a moment, the Sephi woman didn't respond. The pause lasted a moment longer than her assistant expected, but she did give an answer. "In a good way, yes."
"I know it's not uncommon to collect skulls - as far as weird collections go - but I still find it unsettling," Aliss commented with a shudder. "Death - and the idea of it - makes me shudder."
"The thought of it can be unsettling," Billie affirmed. Truth be told, minus the preserved dead, she found Ro'vana's collections fascinating. Even when things were not to her particular taste, she liked seeing the things that people found important. Clearly, Ro'vana thought the skulls, the crystals, and the bugs were important; otherwise, she would not collect them. "What a person keeps around them can be telling, though. Sometimes in a superficial way, but sometimes not."
The pair would continue to wait outside until Ro'vana called them back in.
