The girl name thing was only funny when HE did it. Jimmy wasn't impressed and he twisted Gabe's arm quite savagely in retaliation.
"You're an idiot and ought to know better than to insult somebody's
mother."
More savage twisting.

Apparently TOO far behind.
"James!" His name rushed out of her mouth in a breathy gush. There was concern and scolding and disbelief in that one word. Her eyes scanned the other boy, restrained by Jimmy.
GASP! "Is he a robber? Omgosh, Jimmy," Neptune's hands went to her mouth, half hiding her face, "Did he HURT you?"
????
Oh.
Errr... how to spin this? Hmm. Truth. But played up? Yes. That'd work.
A martyred expression crossed James' face.
"He tried." Jimmy angled his face so Tuney could see his swollen and split lip. "But violence is NOT the answer." Except if he was the one answering the question. Jimmy twisted Gabe's arm again. Accidentally of course. "He isn't trying to rob the place, that I could tell anyway. I was just minding my own business, trying to get stuff for my mum, you know," He nodded at the list lying a short distance away, "And this guy was here putting moisturiser on and decided to insult my mum!"
Not that that explained the mess. Or the bubbles. Or the fact that both boys were covered in primpernelles beauty potions of some sort or another.
