As funny and amusing as I find Candy's idea, when I wrote Mitra's transformation, I did not expect the police to show up before I could have Mitra collect his old skin and clothing back. As such, to prevent the police from finding a whole human skin with clothes, I think the magic pants (with the way the clothes 'evaporate' and reappear) trope is the way to go for now. Gotta establish that precedent anyways as to how things work, yeah?
