You had taken a zapfish and were bringing it home. This zapfish just so happened to be your buddy, and although it couldn't communicate with words, it made little noises and zapped you with electricity to communicate. While you were walking home, you saw someone off into the distance and he was staring at you... It made you uncomfortable. He began to walk over to you and speak to you

What is that...?

He asks, pointing down at the zapfish in your hands
