[ Boba can't really judge the handshake. He hasn't really had many opportunities to practice himself given how rarely he meets new people.
When the boy pulls out a knife, however, Boba is immediately alert. It's not that he necessarily suspects the the other child of violent intent—but he has his training, and that training means he's automatically vigilant in the presence of a weapon. But the boy doesn't use it as such; instead, he uses the knife to carve a word into the bench he's sitting on—a name, Boba assumes. For a moment, Boba is worried that the boy will get into trouble if he's caught vandalizing the furniture here, but before he can voice that concern, the carving fades away as if it were never there in the first place. Boba blinks in surprise. ]
