The grumbling that follows is voiced, so it doesn't carry over the network. But the few moments of grudging silence that follow probably speak for themselves. So, what now? The thought of just ending the conversation doesn't really occur to him as an option - he wants to know what this is about! He just can't figure out what the most advantageous answer would be, with so little to go on.
Well, the question sort of implies that the human's crystals have started turning red. The Boogeyman is nothing like any of them, and he'd rather they not start thinking otherwise.]
They're grey. Now, explain.

[On the one hand, it's an answer, and it tells Wash exactly where both he and Michael stand. On the other hand, it also means that Michael still fully believes he's the Boogeyman, which is going to make this a lot harder and means that Michael is liable to start torturing him again if he says the wrong thing.]
[No pressure.]
Mine are all red, and they started turning red when I started remembering who I really am. Turns out I'm not the heir to a kingdom; I'm a soldier from a long ways away from here.
[He gives that a moment or two to sink in and for Michael to start putting two and two together before:]
You're not the Boogeyman, Michael; you're an architect.

He thinks the humans must believe what he's saying. Why else would he say it? There's many reasons to lie to the Boogeyman, yes, but not really in this specific manner. This is sort of a dumb prank you might try on someone very gullible, he guesses. Not an actual enemy.
Of course, humans believe all sorts of things.
Well, maybe he can dig past some of the nonsense to get actual information. If the crystals can screw with your head, he'd better figure that out from a distance.]
Right. And what made you start remembering?
