[ ethan is lucky that eren doesn’t know what inflection means, though he does realize that he’s being stretched . . . for whatever reason. just. a blank stare is all he can muster for the first few moments after, eyes darting between the little screen ethan seems to be using in between. he could play along, but. eh. he’s just no fun at the moment ethan, i apologize. he points, then. ]
[No fun is its own kind of fun, to be honest. Ethan hums faintly, tapping his fingers in his side. After a moment, he relents somewhat, though there's... A high]
{What about it? I'm just typing the words into my HUD, they're read out afterward. It's pretty simple technology, in the end, even the phones they gave us can do something like this.}
[ if try #1 didn’t get a desirable (?) reaction, try #2 did. so, what, he’s stupid now because he doesn’t know what things are? it’s what this guy is making things out as. from flat to miffed, eren’s eyes narrow just as much as his patience thins— that was less a joke and more an offense, and even more offensive that someone would find token in the mockery of ignorance. he hates that bullshit more than ever. ]
Not all of us are wiseasses, [ not in the sense that ethan was smart, but deliberately indecent for . . . whatever reason? he can’t find a reason, and that makes it all the less tolerable. eren taps the frame of the other’s device with pointedness, just about turning away, ] but thanks for the enlightenment.
[ knowing he doesn’t need to waste his time on one who won’t take him seriously, this young man turns heel to make his way out of the store. he’s outtie! ]
[That was a super supposed to say "it's very possible he'll be misinterprered" or something, which... True enough, clearly. Ethan just sort of blinks at Eren, glances to the tailor to make sure he's not going crazy... And shrugs. Touchy guy...]
{I'm not entirely sure how I was being a wiseass, but I take it you're not familiar with technology then. I must have misunderstood what you're asking.}
[Pointed questions get pointed answers, he thought he was answering!!! What was asked!! But hey, he's just going to not stop Eren if he wants to leave, because honestly? There's grumpy that's worth poking at to bristle and then there's just angry, and he's getting the distinct feel he's dealing with the latter.
Anyway, he's getting up since he's done with talking to the tailor anyway, running his right hand through his hair and pausing to thank them for their help before heading off.]
