[Tattoos. This guy couldn't even figure out his favorite color, and he was thinking of getting tattoos. It was almost funny in a way, how different this guy approached the world.]
...As hot as I'd find you with tattoos, I'm pretty sure those are even more about self-expression than clothes are. What would you get?
[He's willing to bet a tattoo artist would throw him out if he just asked for whatever.
As Eren tries it on, Elliot will reach his hands around and adjusts bits of fabric, glancing in the mirror to see how it looks. Eren's lack of satisfaction is noted, and he's about to make a remark about maybe finding a different cut- but stop when Eren asks him.
Right. The Bond. Makes it harder to hide such emotions. He's quiet for a moment, almost tempted to say he rather not talk about it...but there's only so many times he can say that one. Bonds don't react well to people holding one another at arms length.]
...Not you, exactly. [It's not your fault.] I was just thinking how a friend of mine would've been much better at explaining and finding outfits for you. He loved doing stuff like this.
[It's not unusual for Elliot to miss his friends, but there was something different about Elliot's words on this one. The past tense, the faraway sadness in his eyes that don't quite meet Eren's. He busies his hands with adjusting bits and pieces of the cloak]
He died last year. Still hurts to think about sometimes.
