[It's so fucking hard not to lose his cool right there. Just burn his clout in this city and scatter off somewhere else, because it will have entirely been worth it for the expression on his face and the noise that came out of his mouth. But Barry sees him keep his cool, standing from the table in a fluid motion as he moves, keeping that smile suddenly utterly charming towards the other patrons.]

Sorry guys, no prob-- just a spider.

[Barry might notice he's grabbed a napkin off the table as he stood, which he's now balling in his fist. Everyone knows him, though. Knows his face. He walks over and deposits the napkin in the trash, and by the time he makes it back to the table to hear Barry speak, everything is over.

This is his domain, Barry. He's untouchable.

Taako slides back into his seat, crossing his legs, leaning forward.]

Well I'm a grower, not a shower.

[God, why is he like this. He snickers, though, sticking his tongue out a little at his own joke.]

But y'know. All kinds of stuff. Magic's magic, my guy. Just somethin' I got. So what were you thinkin'? Did I getcha?

[He just looks like he's about to laugh again, the joy still fluttering in his chest.]
