keeps it all meticulously packed in a svelte little backpack because although he doesn’t object to purses those can create uneven weight distribution and fuck up your back/shoulder over time, which is no good. initially insisted on keeping it as minimalist as possible but then parker and hardison started buying him goofy little keychains and charms and patches and how can he say no when they give him those big ol kitten/puppy eyes respectively. hardison probably even bought him a labubu or something and he was like haha it looks like you it’s all grrrrr 👹 and eliot was like hardison this is Stupid i’m Not putting this on my bag, but then parker started buying outfits for the little guy and once again eliot was like well. i can’t just say No. now he jingles and jangles like a goddamn kindergartener with way too much junk on their bag, and eliot says it’s lucky he can kick ass bc he’s drawing Way too much attention like this, but secretly he loves it<3 he loves his goofy bag that his babes more or less decorated for him<33 also probably little kids like to come up and ask to look at all his stuff and that melts his heart of course<333
