[Boober scoffs and shakes his head.]

I don't know if it's sassy, it's just the truth. [He smirks, though that fades into a confused expression for a moment.] Oh, right. Sometimes I almost forget that-- Well, anyway, you're not exactly a big guy yourself, you know.

[nightyorb]

I know. Usually, I'm the shortest person in any room, except maybe some gnomes. But even they'd be almost twice your size.

[Coming from some people, this might carry a negative tone, but certainly not from Riz. Nothing wrong with being small. It's just incredible to him not to be the shortest.]

This must be what Gorgug feels like all the time.

[soupguy]

[Boober sits back with a smile. He's the shortest among his friends and, in general, most Fraggles, and he has hated every moment of being a large, human size. It just feels so nice to be back to this! He holds his tail in his lap, running his hands through the poof of fur at the end. For all the grief that his baloobious can give him, he couldn't be happier to have it back.]

Gosh, I think I missed being a Fraggle more than I even thought.

[nightyorb]

[With Riz in an easy, relaxed crouch in front of the bed, and Boober sitting on it, they are practically at eye height. Or, well, eye-to-hat-brim height.]

I know what you mean. It keeps feeling wrong each time I catch my reflection. Especially when I'm not thinking about it.

[Riz has never been quite as comfortable with mirrors as he had been before Baron, but it's one thing to look in the mirror in the morning to make sure he's gotten all the toothpaste off his face (a short, functional look, no lingering) and another thing entirely to catch his reflection from the corner of his eye in a shop's window (unprepared, wrong, a constant reminder). It always makes him feel like he's been made invisible and is looking at the reflection of someone standing behind him.]

[soupguy]

Yeah... [Boober sighs, nodding.] I'm glad there are these weekends, at least. because I don't think I'll ever get used to it.

And I'm glad that- that I got to really see you, now.

[nightyorb]

[Riz scratches at his cheek, feeling oddly tongue-tied.

Which is stupid!

It's just Boober saying he was happy that he got to really see Riz. That's a completely normal thing to say. Riz is also glad that he's getting to see Boober like he should be. There is no reason for those words to make him feel at a loss for a reply.

Of course, finding the exact cause of that would require a level of introspection into his own emotions that Riz rarely, if never engages in, so he settles for the next best response.]

Wanna go and see if Mando is awake?

[soupguy]

Yeah! Okay.

[Happily unaware of any tongue-tiedness, Boober hops up to his feet. He doesn't give any thought before hopping up onto Riz's shoulder. He's a little big for it, but come on. He will not be able to keep pace with Riz like this, not even close!

But once he realizes he'll have to lean with his hands atop Riz's head to fit properly-- Well, that might be a a bit much touching for Riz. It might be a bit much touching for Boober, honestly! But he doesn't want to fall, so...]

Is this alright?

[nightyorb]

[Riz is a little surprised, but that is mainly because he's never on the receiving end of this. Usually it is him who clambers up on other people's shoulders or makes himself comfortable. Having Boober do it to him is a very new experience, but not one he'll be a hypocrite about.

After all, what sort of person is fine with being carried but not with carrying people when they get the chance.]

Yeah, no, it's cool. [Riz laughs for a moment.] I'm not usually on this end of the equation, but it's fine.

[soupguy]

Well, I've never been carried around all that much before. Just once, actually... So I guess it's pretty new to both of us. [Boober chuckles softly, shaking his head.] So try not to drop me.
