He frowned at the tap on his nose and then let out a puff of air at his hand before he could pull it away. Once back on the ground, he started to adjust his pants so that they were on as comfortably as they would go. "And deny me the chance to tempt fate by having you zip me up? You're no fun," Eli teased back, already starting to zip his pants up while he was talking. He lets out a sharp exhale as he does and succeeds in getting his pants zipped up without hurting himself.

Sitting back down on the bed, he watched Shannon find the boots and grinned. He was glad to know that he truly did like them and wiggled his toes as he waited for him to start putting them on. If he liked the boots, then he was definitely going to like the jacket he decided to wear this time around. And to keep himself from getting too distracted while his boots were going on, he started to put his gloves on, flexing his hands to hear the leather creak as he did so.
