[Boober gives a little grunt that is quiet but deeply judgmental. It's not like saying something you don't mean is a concept foreign to fraggles, much less to Boober himself. He's aware of it, he's done it. But what feels so wrong to him is pretending to care about something like that. Something huge and horrible, something that - if you ask him - shouldn't require pretending. Even before meeting Pok's ghost on Halloween, Boober cared. It's just so clear to see how much Riz's dad means to him.]
I think I understand, hon. That would bother me, too. And I don't want to make you do something you're uncomfortable with.
[As much as he does want to help, he never wants to push Riz into something that isn't true to himself.]
But, yes, if you want to, I would like to know when you have more nightmares. O-or just about things like... Like what happened here. Because, well, I do care. I care about you a lot, so even though knowing about things can be scary, it's important. It's worth it.
