[ Cisco blinks a moment, surprised. Testing the heat sensing capabilities seems like an unnecessary extra precaution. As far as he's away, invisibility magic doesn't have any thermal cloaking. It definitely seems like Taako doesn't entirely have faith that Cisco knows what he's doing. If it weren't for that weird moment just now, Cisco would've given him grief for it - who's the tech expert here or something like that. But instead he just offers: ]
Sure thing pal, we can do that if you want.
[ And since he assumes Taako means sooner, rather than later, he starts tapping away at the tablet, getting it set up to display the feed coming from one of those infrared cameras. He pauses, however, when Taako mentions the book's in his bedroom. He hadn't been expecting that. ]
Oh.
[ That complicates matters considerably. Cisco knows that, if it were him, he wouldn't want a camera in his own bedroom, even if he knew he was (ostensibly) the only one who could or ever would see the footage. But he also knows he's got some Issues in that arena so Taako might be different. ]
It's your call, then. Will it freak you out more having a camera in your room or not having one?
[While Cisco does his thing, Taako sort of idly wanders the room, anxiety making him need to keep moving, but he's not snapping at Cisco, so at least there's that.]
Let's, uh, let's stick with the outside only. Rin would flip.
[If Taako had cameras in his bedroom, he means. Not that there's anything all that exciting happening in there, but he knows enough about Rin to know he's paranoid.]
[ That, at least, brings Cisco's smile back, and in full force. He manages to restrain himself from any comments, but the beaming grin says plenty. There might be a creepy cult that's after Taako, on top of everything else that's happened recently, but at the very least, it seems like Rin and Taako have progressed to some kind of point where cameras in Taako's room would be a point of concern. Even if it's just the two of them sitting in there having pleasant chats, well. It's still a rather trusting thing, having someone in your bedroom. ]
Gotcha.
[ And he carefully tucks the bugs into the pocket of his shirt, somewhere he can reach for them very discreetly as he pretends to be hanging up decorations on the exterior of Taako's place. ]
[There's nothing defensive in his tone, it's not as though he cares about what kind of impression Cisco has of him, since it would be accurate, but he doesn't want anyone to accidentally say something that might be taken the wrong way. The last thing he needs is Cisco saying something to Rin that makes Rin think Taako's been telling people they're doing more than they are.]
Okay, uh, lemme just...
[There's a bag set aside on the table, full of genetic kind of Fall decorations; fairy lights, a wreath, that sort of thing. Taako picks it up, planning to come out with Cisco and help a little, rather than just sending him out alone. He might be a bit ornery right now, but he's not a total dick.]

We should test that shit, the infrared, I can cast invisibility.
[As for the books, he hesitates a second, before:]
They're just in my room.

Let's get these bad boys set up, then, shall we?
