Mikey doesnt usually care about crying in front of others but right now he kind of feels like he has to hold on a little to dignity.
He rubs at his eyes again, willing the tears not to fall and focuses in on the model ships. He thinks Donnie would like those.
"I'm fine," he answers, his voice a bit rough as he continues to try to keep himself from crying.
It's a lie and they both know it, and not just because he is currently trying to keep off the waterworks. But Mikey really doesn't want to talk about it with Rung any further than he already had.

There is nothing in the way he looks at his model ships. Like he's not really looking at anything at all. He smiles a second...
"You take care of yourself too."

He hopes Ratchet returns soon... he could use his... perspective? Company?
Perhaps it is better Rung be forgotten. A missing moment...

He's not empty or numb or anywhere close to where Donnie has been. But there is a raw sad feeling there now.
Maybe he just needs to be alone for a bit.
