Sorry I didn't consider that before...I can imagine pants would be uncomfortable otherwise.

[Jeans, especially. That's a level of abrasion Haise wouldn't have wished on his associate, but at least it was a problem easily addressed. Now comes the real challenge, at least in his view, as there remains the matter of footwear.

Boots may be incredibly uncomfortable for Achilles, but better they at least discuss it than not at all]

Typically, people wear boots with clothing like this. I'm not sure whether you'll find them easy to move in, but do you want to try them out for yourself?

[His sandals could be tough to lace with jeans on, the more he considers it, so giving the boots a sporting try seems for the best]

[As if to better imagine that which Haise suggests, he glances down at his feet and contemplatively shifts his weight from one to the other. In truth he prefers to leave his feet bare, a vein of the vasty wilds of Mount Pelion that he holds within him still. Thus it is with some reluctance that he answers, his eyes lifted to his companion once more.]

I clad my feet in boots when this company was made to trek across the frozen tundra of Zeta-12, and so these are not wholly strange to me. Let us see if now too they shall be suitable.

[So speaking, he moves toward the modest shelf on which are displayed several pairs of boots in various sizes.]

[It comes as a relief to Haise that this won't be the first time Achilles has worn boots. Thinking on it now, he supposes it was silly to imagine that there hadn't been some occasion when such apparel would've been employed, especially given the conditions during their previous missions. That's something he'll have to bear in mind]

These may be structured somewhat differently, and I haven't figured out why spurs are necessary with mechanical horses, but... [He glances over the shelf, then at Achilles' feet, and back to that shelf once again] Something around this size ought to fit.

[This he says as he points out a few pairs of boots that he'd imagine are appropriately sized]
