Oh yeah, tons. I'll be good for awhile. [His cart was not full of tons by a longshot, but he had at least two of everything he'd need to allow for laundry days, and even a decent set of pyjamas.
Frowning, he blew a stream of breath at one of the long sheafs of golden brown hair that perpetually hung in his face, only to have it fall right back into his face as anyone could've guessed.]
I gotta get this shit cut sometime, but that's not life or death.
[Elliot looked at the cart and his brow furrowed but he didn't say anything. They could always make another trip to get more clothes later. It's not like he was the type to get a shit load of clothes himself. His wardrobe was pretty one dimensional.]
Could do that soon... [Elliot said, half mumbling and he moved past John to walk toward the checkout, about ready to be out of the too bright store and outside where he could smoke again.]
[John shrugged, raking the hair out of his face with a hand, but it was too clean now to stay in place when he did that and just flopped right back again.]
Fuck. Hair's so annoying. You've got the right idea. [He glanced pointedly at Elliot's hair, nearly shaved clean off but for the strip down the middle; kind of a weird hairstyle, but he could see the practicality of it now.
Not all that interested in seeing the total of what he'd bought - he was an odd blend of opportunistic and proud, the sort of person who felt better about stealing than being given charity like this - John stood back and out of the way while Elliot bought his new clothes. Not until he'd watched a financial exchange happen from a great enough distance to miss the numbers did he move closer again, grabbing the bags to carry himself.]
Thanks, Dad. [Just one more little game to play with the volunteers, this time the cashier, who tried to hide the massive double-take she did at the exchange and failed. John snorted loudly, then led the way out of the store.]
[Elliot couldn't help the smile that tugged at his lips as the other complained again about his hair and couldn't seem to get it to cooperate. Even so, he didn't say anything else about it as he took the clothes to be rang up.
The purchases didn't really add up to much given that it was Goodwill and in general everything there was dirt cheap. He paid in cash and then John's comment made him look up confused. Elliot shrugged and left the store too. Apparently John just liked fucking with people and it fucked with Elliot a bit too. He pulled out a smoke the moment he stepped outside, lighting it as they started to walk back the way they came.]

We can get some food on the way back if you want.
