[He's startled by her sudden reason; for as much as the loss had once irked him, for as much as the prosthetic had taken a lot of getting used to, and for as much as he still likes to keep it covered to avoid any looks at it, he's been so used to Padme taking it in stride that its constant exposure hadn't even been a forethought.
In other circumstances, perhaps, surrounded by so many strangers, but at least here he hasn't had much of a choice otherwise, aside from not using it at all.

[Or he's at a loss for where to start. Semantics, really.]
