[Them?

Barry tips his head to the side, like a curious dog, narrowing his eyes just a little as he watches the young man. Did he hear that right? Did he say 'them'? He did, twice. He's sure he did.

Slip of the tongue. An expression, a colloquialism. Surely. Like speaking about yourself in the third person. Some humans do that for effect sometimes. The 'royal we', the 'collective you', the 'formal they'. Language can be quite confusing, Barry's noticed, especially pronouns.

That's all that was. Surely.]


Uh, w-well... [He chuckles, blushes, aware he'd spent a little too long considering Taako without actually responding.] I mean, aside from how few legs you have, it's not much of a hassle. [As for trust, that's more complicated...] Of course I trust'em. Wouldn't be here if I didn't.

[Even with the odd choice of pronoun, something about the way Taako said that doesn't sit right with him.] Why, you uh, sayin' I shouldn't?
