"Would you like a cookie? Or some juice?" she asked, noting the way Mobius was eyeing the cart.
"Yes, please," Mobius answered.
They all exited the elevator and Mobius sat down in the chairs that were well placed in all the hallways and he picked out a cookie and a juice box.
"And for yourself?" the woman, who had told them she was a volunteer at the Institute, asked Loki.
"No, I couldn't," Loki responded.
"Nonsense, as his caregiver you should have one too," the woman insisted.
Loki picked out a plain looking shortbread and the woman left them to deliver to other patients. Mobius couldn't help but smile as he nibbled on his cookie and considered how welcoming the place was compared to other buildings he'd gone to, even other hospitals and clinics. The place was considerate to the people coming through its doors, anticipating their needs. The lighting was softer, there were places to rest, and the comfort of everyone was taken into consideration. Mobius had begun his day fearful of what it would bring and was leaving the Institute a little sad that he wasn't returning, though not too sad. He was happy he visited but didn't want to return.
