[Feeling happy in this moment - in this place, period - is out of the question, at least as far as Boober is concerned. But with Riz holding him, he gets as close as he possibly could in this moment. Because that's something in and of itself, isn't it? Maybe being here for Riz to squeeze tight is the only way he can help right now. And while Boober is not sure that's enough, or should even count as helping at all, he'll take it.
Boober returns the hug as much as he's able, his hands clutching at Riz's shirt tightly. Normally, he wouldn't grasp at the fabric like that, for fear of damaging the shirt or even just causing particularly stubborn wrinkles. But right now, it barely even crosses his mind, because the whole thing feels so necessary, right now.
And maybe, if it's what Riz is looking for, and it's what he's needing right now himself, then it is enough of a help.]
