'Tawdry', 'rakish', 'licentious', 'profligate', 'ribald' even!

In other words, Luna is calling me 'slutty'.

Modesty is yet a virtue, sister!

Hush, you! No need to mention any weird fancy boxes, anachronistic or otherwise.

But between you and me, she is rather ornate. Not in a 'loose' manner, more 'dignified' than 'debauched'.
