"That's going to happen," Boober huffs, with a few taps of his foot. But while he's certainly getting frustrated, it's not enough to make him give up. If anything, these specific protests of Shiro's have him determined not to do that.

"Look, it's not--" He hops up on a piece of luggage. He knows it's unlikely to be enough to leave Shiro unable to lift it, but it's a start. "It's not bad to want to protect people from that stuff. A lot of us need protecting, but if all the people who keep others safe wreck themselves doing it..."

His voice falters there, as a sickly feeling hits his stomach. There's a lot of reasons this is hitting him the way it is, and he just realized one reason must be how strongly this all reminds him of Riz overworking himself. He sighs and takes a seat - with a soft thump - atop the suitcase.

"I bet people want you to take care of yourself, and not just so you can protect them."
