Joi wants to be herself. Learn how to be herself and learn how to love K with no line between them, Replicant and hologram, that maybe they can simply be. Without fear of prejudice or discrimination. And she can't help it, simply being with him makes her feel comfortable and happy. So, she smiles.
Maybe? But she'd count him as hers.
"I'm glad. I'm sure there are terrible things about where we are. But are those terrible things worse than where we came from? An autumn like this would have been unthinkable." And she leans forward enough so she can give him a relatively chaste, yet heartfelt kiss. "Being together like this would be impossible. I can't help wanting to explore our new possible, yours and mine together." Because the thought of doing it on her own, without him is unpleasant, to put it mildly. "And, I can't help wanting us to be together, in every possible way. Now that it's possible."
And he is wanted, he is needed. She feels like she felt that way even without the programming.
The drink takes her by surprise, almost. She was lost in the moment with K, feeling contented and peaceful. Once it's mentioned, though, the scents of apples and spice tickle her senses. After Joi takes the drink and has a sip, the taste is almost overwhelming as she tries to compartmentalize everything before choosing to let it go and simply enjoy it.
She smiles warmly, but a little shyly at the woman at the Scavenger Hunt kiosk. She's sure she looks giddy as a schoolgirl with love and happiness, but she can't feel embarrassed, far from it. She's proud to be with K and wants to tell all of Folkmore how much she loves him.
Joi grins at the woman when she mentions the something beautiful. She thinks that K is the most beautiful being she can see, can even imagine.
And at K's confirmation that the photo of her is the something beautiful, she feels a delightful thrill down her spine and pooling deep inside her. She gives him a kiss on the cheek and leans into him, remembering her fear the moment before she'd been...taken offline. She'd do whatever she had to to keep K safe.
And she'll be pleased to not have to go shopping. Shopping in time could be fun, but Joi worries that there would be so many possibilities, they might be too much.
Joi would consider a nice queen-sized bed another housewarming gift.
