Eliot seems to have opinions about the available options, but that is helpful. Jack takes the package when Eliot hands it to him. It doesn't seem too different from the rest of the underwear displayed here, but if he has any intention of wearing them past trying things on, soft sounds good.

"I haven't seen any ships here, so I doubt that I'll be doing anything on the sea, daring crimes or otherwise." He's disposed to feel a little melancholy about that fact, but the way Eliot is grinning at him somehow softens the blow. It feels like Eliot really does believe that he has adventures in his past worth telling, and he wishes that Eliot would ask so that he might share one or two.

"I'll try whatever you think is best," here he lifts the package of underwear as an example. "The translation can wait. Once I've found all the things I need, you can...tell me what they're saying." The corner of his mouth lifts into a brief smile. "I feel like we've overextended this metaphor."
