[He finds being a human in the Pokemon world so stressful that the comparison hit something of a nerve, but when Marik doesn't continue on that track, Boober starts to calm down.]

Well, it's a lot easier to hide when you're this small, that's one of the things I normally miss the most...

[The request for a tour drives away any remaining prickliness, and Boober even smiles a little.]

There might be some spots we have to skip, but okay, I'll show you around.

[thetombkeeper]

[Marik can't help but grin a bit as an idea pops into his head.]

Well, if you ever need advice on hiding while human-sized, I can give you some pointers.

[His entire life has been in hiding even after he left the tomb so uh. Boy's pretty good at the vanishing act when he wants to be.]

Thanks, Boober. I'll do my best to be careful. The last thing I want to do is ruin anything here. Do you prefer to lead the way or ride on my shoulder?

[soupguy]

Oh yeah? If you have any advice, I'd certainly like to hear it.

[He smiles up at Marik with a shrug.]

I think getting up on your shoulder could be nice, if you don't mind. I think you'll outpace me without meaning to, otherwise.

[thetombkeeper]

Not at all.

[He crouches down in front of Boober and leans forward so he can climb on. Figures that's more dignified than him picking the little guy up like a doll and setting him there like he does with Chen.

Once the Fraggle has made himself comfortable, Marik slowly stands back up and turns to exit the Great Hall.]

So first, you'll want to dress inconspicuously. Your hat is perfect for that because it keeps people from getting a good look at your face. Combine that with mundane clothing and you can vanish into a crowd and out of sight like it's nothing.

Next would be the way you act.

[A pause.]

... How do you handle under pressure?

[Marik figures he already knows the answer but he'd rather hear it from Boober than put his foot in his mouth again.]

[soupguy]

[Boober does appreciate not being picked up, and settles in to offer direction.]

Yeah, I don't like dressing flashily because of all the attention that comes with it. I much rather blend in, so I guess I have that part down. Being under pressure, though...?

[He gives a dismissive snort.]

I don't handle it, really. I just panic.

[thetombkeeper]

[Just as he suspected. Marik hums in thought.]

You'll need to find a way to work through that panic.

Are you familiar with the saying "fake it 'til you make it?"
