[Elliot knows Eren doesn't get it, and that he wouldn't see why it mattered. But...Elliot was all too familiar with this tactic. Make something somehow inaccessible to a group of people, and then use their lack of having that thing as a reason to show why those people were lesser. It was a tactic nobles would use against commoners regularly back home. And he could only imagine what anti-monster propaganda would get fueled by Eren showing up at a fancy party in a poncho.

Elliot wasn't about to explain all that to Eren though. It was a complicated and systemic situation, and Eren wasn't the best at such social subtleties. It wasn't Nina's fault, and maybe not even the shopkeeper here. Still, it was important to push against it.

When she returns with excitement, he feels relief that his plan worked. A step in the right direction. He steps to the side, watching with a smile on his face]

Oh, that's a great color combination for him.
