Steadily, forced on Elijah, and as he started exposing skin getting unsteady for an entirely different reason. Elijah out of the layers and suit was... actually pretty captivating. Enough so to push away any other thoughts, uncertainties or second thoughts he might have had. He kept his fingers brushing over that super smooth skin, a little awed, maybe? Surprised? Something. It didn't even seem real.
