There's a level of respect owed to the uniform and what it represents, their place at Noct's side. The leather pants, which weren't technically part of the uniform but like hell those old pants actually fit, hit the floor with an audible thud. They were infinitely better for protection but they weren't the most comfortable. Especially not in this heat.
But Ignis was still perfectly clothed, gloves and all, while Gladio was standing there in his boxers. Which wouldn't do at all. He stepped back to the door, beside his friend.]
You don't mind me keeping these for a bit longer, right? [Not even a real question, he wasn't giving the sunglasses back just yet. And then, as quietly as possible he shifted his weight, crouching down...
only to move to grab Ignis around the waist and throw his friend up over his shoulder. Ignis was fast but hopefully he could catch him by surprise and haul his stubborn ass down to the water.]
