"You did too do it!" he snaps, but that's the end of it. She's busy trying things on, he figures, and he pushes it from mind with a huff. He can wait. He will wait. And he does, to his... not exactly credit, in this scenario.
The trouble is, as time stretches, so does the thread of his patience. It's already been worn thin by being hauled back and forth, back and forth, around in circles, then back and forth some more. He taps his foot, takes to counting ceiling tiles, to... getting bored of that pretty quickly, really.
Karkat ends up craning one ear towards the changing rooms, stubbornly not looking in case she's waiting on him to do just that, but he doesn't even hear her anymore. There was shuffling earlier, muffled, but now?
In the end, he ends up bugging a female store attendant to check for him, spinning some bullshit about how it's been like 10 minutes (not really, but it feels like it) and what if she fainted or something. She comes back a moment later only to tell him no one was there, and was he sure she went in there?
The long and short of it is an indignant squawk and some indignant squawking, and an (also indignant) what are you looking at?! at the first person to glance his way once he's out of the store. Fuck this, he's going back to the tower.
