[Nervous-laugh. He knows it's irrational to be worried about it when Renne can't even see him, but it feels weird.]
As you said, it provides protection. On my former world, it was too cold to walk around naked for most of the year. It's also practical to wear clothes to protect our bodies from excessive sunlight, dangerous chemicals in the lab, and dirt and rain flying through the air.
Different clothing is suitable for different tasks. We all have a uniform on the ship, and ships on my world also had uniforms to show who the crew members were. There are casual clothes for children playing, formal eye-catching outfits for important social events, and clothes designed to draw attention to each other sexually. It's complicated---my other friends would know more about it than I would. I've never been fashion-conscious.
