Fortunately, Jodie already has a flavor in mind, so the list isn't too overwhelming. She just checks to make sure her choice is on there before asking, "Bubblegum?"

Aiden, for his part, contents himself with hovering nearby, examining Andrew more closely. He was too focused on the monsters before to pay much attention to the man. But now he watches him, watches the way he treats Jodie. He doesn't look at her the way her father did - as if she's a monster, or a punishment. He's being nice.

Andrew, Aiden decides, is okay.
