You're crafty, you could find a way to misbehave while shut in a box.
[This is a compliment! Please treat his boots nice.]
A bowtie: no. I may consent to the paints, but you will have to show me what you want to do with them, first. I can hardly wander around with something unseemly on my face.
"short pants" is an awfully long and boring way to say "jorts"
[Embrace it, Connie. She has added this word to her vocabulary and no one is going to tear it from her little claws.]
also... who said anything about the pants being reasonable? if they go down to the boot cuffs, i could just cut them even shorter
[She can and will pair his big, silly boots with daisy dukes if she has to. Not even dedication to a costume is going to see her in full-length trousers.]
[Interesting decision, volunteering ideas for her to better impersonate him at this future party! If he isn't careful, she might take it as encouragement.]
the worm-dove might be too confusing. perhaps a nice taxidermy bird instead
[Haha just kidding. Unless...?]
if anything, it should be you who is sporting the string worms. and probably your own pair of "short pants," considering that i don't think full-length trousers have graced my legs even once since i got here
that depends on how adventurous you are feeling in your costume choices, i think
and how secure you are in your dignity
[That is to say, Nyskie wears the puffy kind because she likes them, but she knows that people here find them bizarre-looking. There is a nonzero percent chance that some people they know might laugh.]
but it WOULD be authentic. if you were feeling extra fun, you could get some matching 'art thou nasty' ones

we could do something understated! [lol] tiny little cheek spots, maybe? just for fun
it's a good thing the gems are a fan of purple and green. i bet you could find enough stuff in your size to make a very convincing likeness of me
now hear me out... what if i paired your boots with jorts
the best of both worlds

[He already has freckles, but dimples...]
And I wish you would stop calling them that. They are short pants!
Still, if you were to pair my boots with some reasonable short pants, your legs would still be entirely covered.
[She's tiny... the jorts + tall boots combo will just become bootpants.]

Are the short pants to be the puffy kind?

those ones are my favourite

Could it say something else, perhaps?

['Art thou tasty?' 'Blonds have more fun'? 'Fragile; handle with care'?]

[This isn't "I get to choose....from a variety of options," this is "I get to choose, which means you chose art thou nasty?" It's nuanced.]

before you ask, i have seen shorts around that say 'are you nasty' on them
and i thought it would be funny to have a pair of my own
[It's the incongruity of it, dear roomie... The weird futuristic gem butt-slogan on good old-fashioned pumpkin pants. She had a mighty need!]
