After the boots came the socks, which would be unpleasant to put back on, and were knotted together and hidden amongst the pile of clothing. Unclipping the straps from across his shoulders was by far the greatest relief so far. Even as carefully adjusted as Fraser kept them, they still bit into his shoulders with time, rubbing the skin pink and angry. And then, finally, he lost the shirt, leaving him in nothing but the blue and yellow traditional breeches of the RCMP. They were, in fact, the most uncomfortable thing about the whole getup, but one thing at a time--he dug his fingers into his shoulder, rubbing at the knot that hard formed there for most of a second before casting an odd, curious glance at Ray. ]
