[ Cisco doesn't even acknowledge Taako's attempts to stop him from paying for both of them, acting like he can't even hear Taako til he has it squared away. Once Taako's arm is around his back, and it feels like he's steadied himself enough to walk a bit, Cisco starts walking towards the door of the bar. He rests his hand on Taako's back, ready to grab his shirt if he should stumble and need to be caught.
