[ This is exactly why people keep doing this kind of thing to him. Finn will never develop enough chill to nip it in the bud.

But hey. It's a genuine spike of humor. And he knows without even a little doubt that it's not his, so it's easy to compartmentalize that bad boy.

He rolls his eyes. ]

Yeah, of course it would.

[After another few moments Taako has calmed down enough to be a real person again, the laughter fading to the occasional little chuckle. He still winks at Finn as he reclaims his glass and heads into the living room, just working on the assumption that Finn will follow.¡

Gimme the actual question, pumpkin, the curiosity is killing me.

[It isn't, but if it's something personal he'd like a chance to lie about it at least.]

[ A fair and accurate assumption. ]

All I wanted to ask was why you put anything that looks that much like a torture device anywhere near your eyes.

[ But go off about dicks, he guesses??

He could ask about the thing with the face changing. He's curious about it. But he prefaced with not too personal. And secondhand eyelash-curling is kind of horrifying when you've never watched someone do it before. ]

[It takes him a second to understand what's being asked, which mostly involves Taako squinting at Finn as he gets comfy on the couch, but eventuality it clicks.]

You mean an eyelash curler? It just like... it makes your eyelashes look nicer? It doesn't hurt or anything.

[It doesn't occur to him that Finn might not have seen one before because surely he has at least one friend who's vain. Surely.

It also doesn't occur to him that this means Finn saw his morning routine and all that involves, but he'll get there in a moment.]

[ It's too late to feel shame. Taako threw embarrassment out the window. Now Finn, local nerd, is on the hunt for knowledge. Sorry, his two best friends are Poe "doesn't need to try" Dameron and Rey, who he loves above everything but who is also a sand gremlin.

An eyelash curler.

This is incredible. ]

So someone came up with that because they wanted their eyelashes to look better.

[ Like, he won't judge pride and effort in appearance as a principle. One can assume he gets it to a certain extent because otherwise he'd look like a shaggy disaster. It's just so specific. ]

Uh, yeah? Eyes and lips are kind of the big ones when it comes to make up and all that shit, eyelash curlers just make ya eyes pop without worrying about mascara.

[This is vanity 101, Finn.

More importantly, though, Taako grins a little.]

You wanna try it?

[ It's like he's speaking-- okay, not another language, we're not in a 90s sitcom. Finn gets what he's trying to say. And on the conceptual side he gets why people go so hard into it.

He's just never seen it in motion. Or tried it. Consider him definitely thinking about it. ]

Are you trying to say my eyes don't pop? [ Gosh? We can't all be Poe or Rey in terms of Eyes That Are Very There. It's just not realistic. ]

I'm saying you seemed kinda curious and I highly fucking doubt any of your friends know how to do this shit, so if you wanna try it now's your chance.

[Taako can be a rude little shit, but he thinks Finn is plenty attractive so he's not about to say anything about his appearance one way or another.]

[ Finn is beautiful and his eyes pop, got it, self esteem levels raised.

Pros: trying something new that won't kill him, giving Taako another not awful thing to think about
Cons: not sure yet but probably absolutely something. He thinks that about everything, though, so it's negligible. ]

Sure. Yeah. Why not?

[Taako levers himself off the couch before offering a hand to help Finn up.]

C'mon then, been a while since I've taken a dude to my bedroom.

[pls]
