Maybe the reason he really disliked seeing Zelda was that everything was so… formal. Everyone was elegantly dressed in their gowns and finery. Just like whenever Gannondorf came to call, to lock them into their crystals. The worst part was everyone was in dress. Even Raulin. It was horribly embarrassing, but the others encouraged it for equality, as some still had hard feelings as only being allowed to be girls in the presence of the sole male Descendant. So he could kind of understand being stuffed into gowns for such meetings, but not entirely.

What was worse though, was when Link would finally come to Temple to save him from the twisted Temple Guardians. Every Temple had one, to make certain that if the Sage of the Temple could not protect the Temple sufficiently, the Guardians would. The Guardian's first priority was the Sage, then the Temple to which they were assigned. When Gannondorf would trap them in their crystal, the Sages were incapable of doing anything, so the Guardians would over-react and try and destroy all things that came to the Sage in their defunct state. This was true of even Heroes of Time. The Guardians were strange things that would manifest their shape to suit their environment, and as they had much time on their hands, led to bizarre shape choices. After Link would "kill" them, they would sift their remaining energy to destroy the Crystal, thus freeing their Sage. Why the did not do this in the first place, Raulin supposed, was self-preservation preserved the Temple more than being dead, so in essence, was a last-ditch effort on the part of the Guardian. After being destroyed, they would wait for the Sage to "rebirth" them so they could go back to guarding their Temple and Sage.

He supposed that it was part of the job, being a Sage's Descendant that he had to play the part of an innocent maiden, but it was still so humiliating. What if Link found out one day? He did not think it was that big of a deal if just maintained his masculinity when he was forced to crystallized, but apparently Zelda thought that there would be less incentive for Link, if he were to rescue another man. A man who was dumb enough to be crystallized by Gannondorf in the first part.

Raulin thought this was horribly sexist on the part of the Princess, because men, he was certain, were just as affected by dark "magics" as women were, and the fact that he was affected by them same as the maidens was not his fault. Besides, even if he was less susceptible to Gannondorf's power, it would mean that he would have to be the one to rescue all the rest of the Descendants, which would horribly upset most of them, because they would not be rescued by Link.

He sighed. It was moments like this that he thought it would just be easier to be a girl, and let someone rescue him without him feeling awkward. Plus he could wear a dress without feeling self-conscious also. He would not mind his name not being carried through, it was just a name.
