buy him a new pair of knickers, if he's that hard up.

isn't hard up at all. He just didn't think he should toss something out for only a small hole that could easily be patched.

... wonders what he does when they get grubby then... dye them a darker colour?

washes them obviously.

... thinks washing only goes so far. Clothes get old.

knows that.. But his clothes normally didn't get all the dirty, unless he was out in the garden, but he had clothes for that.

... supposes being a prim princess helps in that respect.

isn't a prim princess! That was just insulting!

trying to be insulting? But not in a hurtful manner, more jesting in tone.

frowns at this. He wasn't a princess, he just never went gallivanting in the mud. BT

if he's even been hunting?

tried to avoid such things as hunting.
