[ He knows that Taako's killed people before of course, and in this context there's an obvious self-defense component, but all the same, it is a little unsettling hearing his friend talk about murder with such complete casualness. It's also odd that, instead of joking about Cisco and his tech, and how magic is obviously better, he just gives Cisco that look.

But of course, it's been a stressful time, obviously. Cisco should cut him more slack. He'd be flipping his shit if some creepy cult weirdos were stalking him. ]

Got it.

[ Cisco turns instead to the bugs themselves, setting two aside and pointing to them. There's something just a little off in his voice - enough to indicate he's feeling a bit awkward about that last exchange. ]

So... um, these two are for the front and back doors. They've got heat sensors built in, so if your guys are using some kind of invisibility spell, hopefully they'll still show up.

[ He doesn't tell Taako to be careful, or anything like that, though he is thinking it. He's seen what Taako can do - that spell which had just cleaved the ground in two - and knows he can take care of himself. ]

Most of these will be on the outside of the house, but... I can put one in the room where the book is, if you want? Just, uh, show me the way?
