Hmmm. I always just assumed that her pose had more to do with the Pinis wanting to show that first display of Leetah's healing (first from the wolfrider's perspective as well as the readers) as an extraordinary event and that's why they used such a dramatic pose. But from Leetah's point of view... I have no idea, but yours seem logical enough. ^^

I thought it was a slightly cliched representation of "magical healing", but like Schattenstern I think I always envisioned it from the perspective of the Wolfriders' wonderment. But I do love Dancing's idea, that it is also Leetah putting on a show -- perhaps to awe the Wolfriders, and perhaps to remind Rayek of her own spectacular strengths, or maybe just out of ego. I don't know which, or maybe a bit of all of it, but I think it adds a lot to my reading of the scene to think of it this way.
