[ Cisco snorts, smiling and laughing as Taako calls himself head and shoulders above the rest, but he likes Taako's self-confidence and he's glad that it's at least true enough that he can say that right now. He waits while Taako finds his worst angle and then snaps a shot; it is comically terrible, so much so that it goes beyond unflattering and straight to hilarious.
He hands back the phone and then gives a thumbs up, because he doesn't trust himself to say some version of "yep that is hideous enough" without completely ruining it with too much blunt honesty.
And he's willing to wait, to hear what happened to change Taako's appearance, at a time when Taako is more in control of himself and the story. But damn, 'Wonderland' sure sounds bad. No shortcut to creepsville as quick as a Lewis Carroll reference. ]
Psshh, easy.
[ At least, easy in this context. On a stage in front of a crowd might be another matter, but there aren't any other party guests in their immediate vicinity, and Taako hadn't told him to sing loudly. Cisco doesn't even sit up - he just sings lying on his back in the grass, hands tucked behind his head. Not the best position for projection, but he's trying to sing quietly.
He picks 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow', because of course he does. Cisco knows the words, and he doesn't hesitate or falter, in a way that makes it sound like he sings plenty - even if it's just to himself. He sings it very simply, without adding much flair or camp, and there's a sweetness and earnestness to it that goes well with both the song and his voice. He doesn't time himself, just trails off somewhere about halfway through the song, smiling in an chagrined way. ]
