Loren preferred to stay in his little comfort zone of the book shop, which only sold coffee because it didn't pay enough to stay open otherwise. He liked Steve, as much as he liked any of his patrons, because the man was polite and never forced conversation when it wasn't wanted. It's why he had agreed to come here today and do this errand.

Stepping inside, though, that wasn't what he wanted to do.

Still, he did it, settling himself on the edge of the couch to look up at Steve, intensely green eyes bright in the evening light. He held up both the package and the thermos, which had a post-it note stuck to it with a really bad cartoon of a monkey wrapped in a blanket on it.

"I have better things to do with my time than fly such a distance just for a weekend of tedious conversation and personal questions."

He wasn't very sociable.

"I am certain that Thor will be sure to regale me of the trip when he returns, I shall not miss out."
