[Barry is actually enthusiastic about this, and it's-- it's surprisingly just an incredible feeling. It's been so long since he's talked to someone that isn't a human or his sister, gotten a good goof on a person that he had to cover up immediately. But it's in his nature. It's an itch, a need to make sure the world is just slightly off it's step. Like a tic or a gift or a curse from whatever magic he summons, like an agent of entropy. Frankly, he thinks if he was some great god looking down on his own work, they'd probably be pretty pissed he uses it to do this shit and not much more, but he hasn't been murdered yet, so. It works out. Sure.
He just stays in place, balancing his chin on his laced together fingers, propped up by his elbows. He probably looks like he's in love, which is just so hilarious an image he's trying not to laugh just thinking about it.]
Eeh, I dunno. A hundred, one fifty, I don't really keep track.
[Not even long for his species. He's young. But they were always early bloomers.]
Man, I really thought you were gonna up and bolt, my man. Do you stay in the habit of seein' someone's teeth and then put your head in their mouth? Jeez.
[The glamor is still in effect, Taako looking perfectly human at a glance or study, but if Barry really concentrates he might be able to make out bits and pieces where the silhouette doesn't match-- now that he knows what he's looking for. Where the tiniest movement above his head from the flick of an ear, to a tail curled around the leg of his chair. Just moments. Second guesses. Things most people would notice only if they truly, truly looked.]
But it's just what I can do. Just how it's always worked.
