009 - Y-you want my apple?

Finding my apple, I levitated it up. “Thank you. And thank you for the warning about that... thing in the ground.”

“Mine.”

I blinked. “Y-you want my apple?”

The sprite-bot laughed, which was very weird to hear since the artificial voice didn’t have any inflection. “No. That’s what it was called. The explosive in the ground. It’s called a mine. It triggers when you step close.”

“Oh.” I took a bite of the apple. “That’s a very stupid name for a weapon.”
