[ Damn it. With teeth on edge, he tried to swallow back down the very familiar murderous urges when it came to Negan's mere presence. How could one person get under his skin so easily? Not even the governor managed the same thing and never so powerfully.

A bag suddenly settled into the center of the room, unzipped to show blocks and other toys they acquired over the past few months. His hand gestured over it. ]

Most of what we got is in there or on the shelves over there. [ They lost some after the prison ordeal. ]

[ Negan clicks his tongue in distaste. ]

That shit won't fly. She's bound to get bored playing with the same damn things all the time. And what about playing outside? I do not see a single goddamn swing set in this place.

[ He looks to Judith, all seriousness. ]

What about it, peanut? You wanna play outside more, don't cha?

Let me go down to the corner store and just purchase something. [ Rick shot back, fists curling and uncurling at his waist. They were all doing the best they could with runs and baby themed products were really difficult to come by.

Supplies to make a swing set were even harder to come by. He didn't really like the thought of her outside more than necessary either. ]

She's safer in here. We go out on the back porch. [ Only when she wouldn't be fussy and everyone else had turned in for the night. ]

Don't have anythin' to build a swing set with.

Ooh, daddy's feelin' ornery today! Maybe he should take a nap instead of you, huh?

[ Negan crouches to shoulder the bag of toys on his unoccupied shoulder before straightening and walking out of the room and down the stairs with Judith. He's not in any sort of hurry, but he's going to set up camp with that charming little lady in the living room. It's been.. a long damn time since he'd played with a kid. There were a few young ones growing up in local outposts, but none of them are big enough to appreciate it yet.

Once he's settled on the floor with his back leaning against the couch and has pulled a few toys out for Judith, he takes the time to look up at Rick, who is understandably livid. Really, it's not a concern, it's kinda cute when Rick gets all pissed off and he starts doing that head tilt of his. ]

Our next pickup, I'll have my men put together a play set for her in the back yard.

[ Bile churned around within Rick as he watched Negan take off with Judith down the stairs with a bag of her things. The very worst possibilities popping into his mind and he took off quickly after the pair down the stairs and into the - living room. Wait.

Fury still lined his face, head indeed tilted but confusion shone in his eyes as well. Negan wanted to what - have play time with Judith like a normal human being? His mind could not wrap around Negan doing anything so normal and everyday. It just did not add up and his lips pressed tightly together in his displeasure of the entire thing.

The play set in the backyard, though, it pained him to enjoy the vision of it. ]

Always wanted somethin' like that for her. Teach her how to swing and slide. [ But they did not live in normal times and he knew to not wish for things too long. ] What are you doin'?
