There had been no sense in losing such a nice day to bickering with himself. Loki was crazy enough. He didn't need to be making it worse. So, instead, he'd opted for much more enjoyable activities. Even if packing up all of Joy's things (and Joy) in order to leave the apartment was always a chore, once they were out in the sun and the fresh air it all seemed worth it. If there was one thing Loki really liked about small towns compared to the cities, it was the relaxed feeling of the downtown. New York was a hustle and LA was, well, LA. And there was something about this place that reminded him fondly of Broxton. Though, the people were certainly preferable.
And the milkshakes were just as amazing.
Cradling the metal cup in his hand, finger held over his straw to hold a small portion of the milkshake in it, Loki held it out for Joy. There wasn't anything in it that would hurt her, but for someone her age, this was pretty much all she needed. The fact she seemed to be enjoying it, as her tongue groped for what had dribbled down her chin as she squirmed in her stroller to try and make it dribble back into her mouth, just made the sight all the more enjoyable.
"So, where do you want to go after this?" Loki asked, glancing up at Steph. "Just around?"
