[Riz groans, pressing his palms against his eyes.]
Can we never bring up Baron ever again? I didn't exactly mean to make some sort of weird... skeleton boy fake boyfriend. Besides, I don't even think I ever told Boober about him.
[ She would rather not talk about some of the terrors the Nightmare King showed her, either. Even if her greatest fears were less scary and more depressing.
Though, thinking about the Nightmare King's forest just makes Adaine think about the conversation she had with her future self, about whether they deserved to be loved. She hugs her knees closer to her chest, subconsciously trying to make herself so small and ball-like that she'll give Riz a run for his title. ]
What I was trying to say was... It's good, that you and Boober found each other.
[ Adaine hesitates for a moment— they both well know the associations that go along with "Mumple people," and how derogatory they can be. But, she hasn't had much of a chance to get to know Boober yet, so she doesn't want to be mean to Riz and cast any unnecessary aspersions. ]
I suppose... The world needs Mumple people as much as it needs Aguefort people. [ Now, Hudol people? Those, the world could probably do without. ]
I'm looking forward to being able to meet him properly.
[Mumple folks can be the worst of the lot, it's true. On the other hand, Bud Cubby had attended Mumple and he could probably go toe to toe with plenty of adventurers.
Not to say that Boober was anything like that beloved socio-anarchistic postman, but clearly Mumple produced its share of gems too.]
Yeah. I'm-- I'm kinda glad you are the first one who gets to meet him. You... well, I think meeting you is probably least intimidating.
[Fabian would be so judgemental. Kristen would probably be unable to shut her mouth and ask too many invasive questions. Fig was cool, but she was also Cool to an intimidating degree with her outfits. And Gorgug... he was an absolute sweetie, but he was also as tall as a Gorg, and Riz could easily imagine Boober being intimidated.]
[ Bud Cubby is an outlier and they both know it, but if someone as good and as radicalized as him can come out of Mumple, then who knows what else Mumple people can do!
Adaine just chuckles, and shifts to lean back against the headboard of her bed, legs outstretched in front of her as she grabs a pillow to hug to her chest. ]
Yeah, it's for the best that it's me he meets first. Everyone else is... [ What's the kindest way to say it? ] ...More intense.
[ Gorgug is sweet enough to not be as intimidating upon first meeting, but there is always the chance that something will set him into a rage and no Mumple person wants that upon first meeting. ]

Fair. Yep, nope. No more Baron talk.

[Riz might as well admit it! Adaine will probably come to the same conclusion once she meets Boober in person.]
But he's always working hard. And he doesn't mind doing the stuff nobody else cares about. And he is funny. In his own way.
