Re: Hanging out on the fire escape
He just meant give up the pants, not get naked! Which Sam was entirely grateful for. There was already enough nakedness here, way too much for his liking, so that was why he was indeed grateful for the pants.
"This is insane," he growled, quickly pulling Theo's somewhat too small but suitable pants on. They covered what they needed to, that was what mattered. "Next full moon I'm barricading the tiger in with a steel door. Thanks for the pants. You're okay, right?" He didn't see any smears of blood anywhere, which was a good sign and indicative of the fact that Shere Khan was just being a playful kitty and didn't actually rip a limb off. Now to just make it down without dying!
