This kid is pawy too. There's a lot to paw, to grab and shuffle and rummage through around here. So many supplies! Mysterious artifacts and confirmation that somehow, he was awaited, despite all evidence pointing elsewhere.

Upon entering this new room, Nux spots a very robust man digging through drawers. But the glint of a stubby, clean gun on the table nearby absolutely snags his attention and he makes a quick line for it. Grabs it up off the counter with a scrape of metal. Walked in from behind and maybe the stranger didn't see him but Nux's got this pretty pistol in his hands now, and comments with enthusiasm as he turns it over to inspect:

"It's got a lil' light on it?!" True awe.
