[There's a man collecting weapons like bottlecaps in the SMITHY and BAZAAR. He examines a knife, puts it down, examines a bigger, sharper, more horrible murder-y knife before nodding in approval and slipping it into a sturdy leather sheathe. He does the same with a few guns, dismantling and examining them with practiced ease before tucking them into his knapsack with a quiet:]
This'll do, [like he's shopping for a baby's car seat or a paint color for the new door trim and not an entire arsenal he can attach to his backpack with duct tape and prayers.
After searching for weapons he decides to do something more relaxing, like stalking Sam Yao for almost half an hour. Nothing suspicious. He'll let the kid go for now. Maybe one day he'll even apologize for basically insinuating that Sam was a terrible person looking to take advantage of Joel's desperation.
To complete his busy day of quiet, creepy mayhem, weapon-collecting and friend-stalking, Joel picks up some ingredients from a nearby store (stuffs some more cans into his pack to take home and hide around the apartment) to make Ellie a spaghetti-and-meatball dinner with homemade meatballs and garlic bread. And salad.
Joel's settling in pretty good, he thinks. He only almost shot someone for startling him twice this week.]
