"As far as you know. With humans, probably." Ilde's skepticism is evident, but it's not unkind so much as well aware of the risks of relying on it. "You shouldn't rely on it. Scent, trace signatures, the way your voice sounds--"
A shrug, and she gives Steph a little poke in the chest.
"I know what these costumes are for." Bewildering her, mainly, even if the mask part does make sense. "The Militia doesn't like people poking their nose into things. You look..." A gesture. "Poke-y. Fabric won't stop them tracing you." And anyone she knows.
It's not so much that Ilde doesn't think it's conceivably important to hide (she doesn't share details of all her activities, generally, she grasps secrecy well) but that she feels someone should point out Steph could be doing more to protect her identity. She should be, if she has any real investment in concealing it; she won't get lucky with oblivious humans forever.
The fact that this is none of Ilde's business is irrelevant, naturally.
