He was thinking that he could not get his legs into a pair of pants even if he wanted to. And he did. He really did. But he couldn't, so there was no point in being upset about it, was there? He just made the best of it, and whatever anyone else might think, he knew he had great legs.

"Here we go!" he chirped cheerily as he came back into the room, the pleated skirt swishing about his hips merrily. He held out one of the spoons to her, not commenting on the fact he was wearing a skirt at all, acting like it was totally normal.

"What kind of soup is it?" he asked, sniffing.

He had very great legs. And that was part of the problem. Because Jim was her friend and despite what the Malnosso once did, she knew it was wrong to think of him in any other way. It wasn't like that between them. Even if, sometimes, on her loneliest days, she almost wished it was.

But now wasn't that time. Right? Because all she could do was gawk, continue to stare as he returned to the room as if nothing was amiss.

How could he keep acting as if this was normal? "...Jim?"

"Yes?" He said slowly, he like he expected her to do something untoward any moment. He waggled the spoon at her, raising his brows, because holding a spoon out made him feel vaguely ridiculous.

He looked down at himself, as if only now realizing that he was, indeed, in a skirt of questionable length.

"Oh, you mean the skirt," he said, as if it only just occurred to him. "That. Well, let's just say pants are proving problematic this morning."

That still doesn't make any sense to her. What does he mean by that? That pants are proving problematic? She's never heard anything like that before. Even in a place where she's experienced more unusual happenings than anywhere else, this is perhaps the oddest response she's ever heard.

Her brow furrows. At the very least, she's not blushing anymore. For now.

"Why?"

[universal_charm]

"Why am I having trouble with pants? Well, this is only a guess, but I'm guessing magic and considering there is only one person I know who would use magic that way here - it's Loki. So Loki's pulling a prank because he's an ass," he waved his spoon idly and sat, motioning for the pot of a soup with a lick of his lips.

Really, it was all perfectly reasonable wasn't it? Besides, it was just a miniskirt.

She wasn't sure if the situation was improved or not when Jim sat on the bed. She remembered the way those legs looked on a bed with much less covering his body. It made her uncomfortable. And she tried to look everywhere but at him when she placed the pot on his bedside table.

"That seems like a waste of magic."

[universal_charm]

"Maybe, but when you think about it, what else are you going to use magic for around here?" he asked, happily digging into the soup with sounds of pleasure. He did love Katniss' cooking, especially when she used fresh caught meat. It was a real talent of hers, in his opinion.

He noticed, finally, that she having a hard time looking at him and laughed a bit.

"Sorry, let me get back under the covers."
