[ Cisco had just opened his mouth, drawn in a breath to ask what had happened, and then tease a little bit more about Rin, find out some of the backstory there. But Taako speaks before he gets the chance to, and it stops Cisco's words right in his throat. One of the side-effects of the way that Taako so liberally uses pet names, not to mention the slight lilting affectation in the way he usually speaks, is that when those things are missing it's pretty damn easy to tell something is up.
Cisco nods, a little hurt but mostly worried. He pushes his hair back behind his ears, heading for a storage locker in the corner of his lab where he keeps the few medical supplies he has on hand. Inside are the necessary materials to take some blood samples. As Cisco is gathering them up, his brain searches back to when things had shifted. Perhaps it's selfish, to think this mood is anything to do with him. Maybe it's just hitting Taako now, that he'd woken up somewhere unfamiliar and maybe even unsafe, and this is a delayed reaction.
Or maybe not. ]
Sorry for the wait.
[ Cisco comes over to Taako, trying but failing to hide the worry on his face. He's always been terrible at keeping any sort of emotion from showing on the surface. He carefully feels for a vein, then swabs the inside of Taako's elbow with iodine. ]
How are you feeling, otherwise? Any other, um. Physical symptoms, besides the confusion?
