Alex tries not to take it too hard and in a way, it's easier because the what the hell is that thing look coming from a stranger is easier than family, friends. Other cops at the station. Besides - the kid's kinda growing on him. Big talker, this one. He figured they had something in common, flicking a glance down at the glint of metal where there should've been an ankle. Instead there's what looks like a prosthetic foot, like it came out of a garage or something.
"Alex Murphy," Alex holds out his hand, the joint purring. He makes sure to hold out the right one because at least it's got skin and muscle there (he thinks). "Arena or before?"
