2. at least he gets that it was something happening to a bunch of people around then, right? not that you just hopped in for no reason?

3. what's a drow?

4. well no i didn't mean RIGHT THEN. i was talking about the next time you go on a date or whatever.

Oh, yeah, he knew that something was up cause I was real fucking confused about how I got there and wasn't trying to fuck with him or anything

A subrace of elves, I guess? Technically me and Lup are high elves but drow are dark elves, they live underground and are kinda more adapted to that so like Rin isn't great at sunlight. Where I'm from the Underdark (drow capital city) is kinda weird but not too rough? But Rin's version of it sounds rough, like with slavery and shit

Okay but what if he's not into me though, what if that thing I said

uhhhhh YIKES you weren't kidding about it being shitty fearun!
...does he live underground here, too?

[ It's not exactly Miami in this place but it gets plenty of sunlight, considering ]

um if he's not into you he's a gigantic fucking idiot
and correct me if i'm wrong but gigantic idiots aren't your type anyway.

seriously tho. if he says he's not interested, we eat some ice cream, you smooch magnus as payback, and then you find somebody who's not a total moron to get a crush on.

Nah he lives in the communal housing which is weird as shit honestly. Not cause of the drow thing he just doesn't seem like the kinda dude who wants other people up in his space, you know?

Gigantic idiots could be my type you never fucking know

[But no not really. Hot goths are his type.]

This is probably gonna sound dumb but like, even if his Fearun isn't the one I know it's still kinda cool to have someone who gets that shit

[And he doesn't want to mess that up just to get his smooch on.]

yeah that is kinda weird.

[ Cisco's brain immediately tosses up the oh so helpful suggestion that Rin staying in communal housing under those circumstances is very suspicious, and leaps from there neatly to 'what if he's secretly evil and hiding it and he's up to something and going to hurt Taako'. A part of him recognizes it as paranoia, as a reflex, but... Cisco is sure as hell going to vet this guy the first chance he gets. Even if he was nice to Taako after he saw those ghosts. ]

it doesn't sound dumb
but take it from me the weird in between limbo doesn't do anybody any good
chances are he has gotten a crush vibe off you but he's unsure

Maybe he's just real tight about money

[It makes sense, since it'd contributed to Taako staying in the communal housing so long.]

So like, I should show up outside his window with a boombox?

[time 4 jokes]

yeah true.

there ARE worse ideas.
i mean you could cook him some drow cuisine i guess
probably not something he can find super easy here
that's a really nice gesture but not as like permanent as a gift.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and you're not gonna say shit about this to anyone but I don't think he's gonna want reminders of the Underdark

[It's just a suspicion, but after Rin's comment about spiders, Taako has a feeling he has no fond memories of the Underdark.]

Regular kinda gifts sound way easier

of course not 🤐
seriously tho you know i don't blab about real shit

that's a good point
okay regular gift then
what's his job anyway?
what's he into?

I know, my dude, but I wanted to be sure

He does surveying for the guard but I think it's just a job, you know? Used to be a merchant back home and that makes way more sense, if we're talking the kinda merchant that wears a lotta silk and drinks wine I couldn't even dream of affording

[aka Rin is hella bougie]

you said he isn't into sunlight right?
can't go wrong with a sweet pair of sunglasses
not the most romantic gift but still

or don't give him a gift at all
it doesn't need to be a grand gesture, you can just ask him how he feels

That's a fucking hilarious image I'm into it

[Rin has adapted to modern stuff fine, but Taako still kind of associates him a little more with old-timey fantasy bullshit.

But also:]

there you go, get that boy some knockoff gucci

[ Cisco laughs at the gif - Taako really ought to know that if he talks to his sappy friend about relationships, he's gonna get sappy advice. ]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You know me better than that, like I'm gonna give a dude I'm into knockoff Gucci

do they even sell the real deal here tho?

Shit.

Maybe? If it came through the portal I guess
