Well, he might look ridiculous, but at least he didn't have to worry about accidentally flashing his junk, now, although the restrictive outfit still made him feel strangely vulnerable, as if he was wearing David Bowie's leggings from the classic 20th Century documentary “Labyrinth”.

Jaxx, absent mindedly rifling through a box, had decided to move past, treading on his foot.
“D'you mind?”
“Mind what, dude? Have you seen what's in this most righteous box?”

“It is quite... snug. Why don't we just make you some brand new clothes out of dinosaur hide?” Suggested Seymour.
“You leave those bloody dinosaurs alone.”

Stressed, he ran a hand through his sweat-damp hair and looked the new doctor over, wondering if there was any chance she had cigarettes - or, even better, a drink - when his ears pricked at the sound of his name.

“... found it near Alex.”
“Which one's Alex again?”
“The homo dude, babe.”
