[The reaction reminds Boober that, right, it's kind of a weird question he asked. At least, to ask someone who isn't used to his habits.]

Oh, uh, well... Doing laundry is my job back home, and I like it quite a bit, so it's very comfortable. And you-- Well, you have all those clothes. It'd be great for keeping up my skills. Besides, lately...

[He gives a little shrug and turns his attention to the nearest of Shadowmaru's pokemon, reaching out his hand to see if it seems agreeable to being pet. They've been friendly so far, but it never hurts to be careful in Boober's book.]

I've been stressed. [he scoffs] Of course I've been stressed... I mean, more than usual.

[He looks back over to Shadowmaru.]

Oh! But I didn't come here just to ask to do that. I didn't even think of it until I got here.
