[Look, you want a fraggle who's going to pick up on subtext, that's also Mokey. And even then, she's probably going to pick up in it wrong.]

You have been?

[The word "permanent" has come up twice now, and it feels weird to Boober how much that doesn't scare him. Maybe even feels wrong. Of course he misses his friends who aren't here, not to mention being a fraggle inside and out! He just... He has a lot here that matters to him, and people he fits with.]

I think that could be nice... Yeah, I'd like that.

[singlespacedad]

All right.

[Okay, he has the approval of one of the kids! Mando reaches out and claps Boober's shoulder.]

I'll look into it. Just... keep this from Riz and Shadowmaru for now, will you? I don't want anyone to get too excited before I figure out if this is something that can even be done.

[soupguy]

Of course, I'll do my best.

[Sure, sure, Boober is not much good at keeping secrets, but he can lie by omission perfectly well. And he likes this trend where he knows things first. It feels special.]

Oh... Maybe we could get a house with a guest room? For whenever Gobo stops by.

[singlespacedad]

I know you will.

[In Mando's opinion, Boober is perfectly adept at keeping secrets. 10/10 son, no complaints.]

We could get one with a bedroom just for Gobo, if he wants one.

[Obviously they're going to have a room for Gobo! What, does Boober think Mando is some kind of monster and would leave a Fraggle out in the cold?]

[soupguy]

Yeah? Alright, I'll ask him-- Well, you know, once you're ready for other people to know you're looking into it.

[He starts to return to browsing, but a thought occurs to him, and he looks back up.]

Where would we live? Have you thought about that?

[singlespacedad]

Not really.

[Look, kid, everyone knows Mando isn't someone to plot things out in advance! He's a shoot from the hip, dive right into the hive of scum and villainy kind of guy, so planning out a house location hasn't crossed his mind yet.]

I'd ask everyone, once I had the funds raised. Everyone should get a voice in the decision.

[soupguy]

Heh, of course.

[But Boober only shrugs, because sure, Mando's not a thinker-ahead, but it is nice that he wants everyone's input. And really, the fact that Mando isn't a planner helps balance out Boober's own nervous anticipation, so he can't complain.]

Well, let me know if you need any help, okay?

[singlespacedad]

I will.

[Mando is going to take Boober up on this; he knows his own lack of talent in the planning department, and maybe his own laissez-faire approach to it can be countered by Boober's diligence.]

In the meantime, let's go find you some more kitchen tools. I'm expecting an excellent soup this weekend.

[Haha, all of Boober's soups are excellent already.]

[soupguy]

Oh, sure, no pressure.

[But his sly little smile shows he's playing around. It doesn't take much to stress Boober out, but he knows Mando likes his food. He even likes it when it's not up to Boober's standards, and while he can imagine a few reasons for that, well-- He can't help but think that maybe it's also just how dads can be with their kids.]
