“Erm, Mike are you- wha…” Melis was stopped in his tracks by the… odd contraption the other was holding. “Uh, what is that.. for?”
Mikey jolted and whipped around, eyes widening just a small bit. “Oh! Um- you know, for hunting anomalies? Doing our jobs?”
“I… see.” Now that they mentioned it the thing did look kind of like a weird metal net. He didn’t know how useful it would be but Mikey wasn’t stupid, it was probably pretty useful if they still had it.
Mikey’s face began to heat up. “Right! And I’m going to- go do that!” With his very useful net! It wasn’t stupid! He didn’t need guns to catch anomalies. That’s why he didn’t use them. Only reason.
Mikey speedwalked out and the door slammed shut behind him, leaving Melis with much more questions than answers. “I… um, ok…”
…this was why he worried.
