Rowan's body was nothing petite to look cute in those effeminate clothing styles. The next best thing to make these short shorts work was to look like he was working at home. Instead of his winter coat, he wore a beige fleece coat over his clothes. It looked like a dressing gown from afar, completing the house attire feel of the outfit.
He did sit on the contraption like usual, but he would dangle the left leg to relieve it from the pressure. He just didn't care if he kept seeing his fair thighs more than necessary. However, the short shorts would also inch up for some reason, and it bothered him. Then again, his hands had paint on them. He didn't want to keep pulling the edges of the shorts down and risk getting paint on his clothes.
