"Surprises?" asked Shannon. He used what he could to try and determine what Eli was choosing, the smells and sounds and even displacement in the air and what positions they were at. There were a lot of ways to identify an object without seeing it, except Shannon was at the disadvantage of not knowing what sort of stock was carried in a store such as this one. "Anything as interesting as that harness?"

As it was, he didn't bother asking what they were. After all, there was going to be the entire car ride back to Eli's place to poke around. If that didn't work, then Shannon could certainly pretend to be patient.
