[ It's hard to tell from time to time when Taako is being entirely serious and when he is joking, but Cisco thinks there might be a hint of seriousness behind the whole respect for another chef's kitchen thing. And it makes sense. If he found someone messing around in his workshop he would absolutely lose his shit.

The offer of a manor to hang out in perks Cisco up a little. ]

Can you? Didn't know how many spell slots you had left.

[ See, he's picked some things up! About magic! He knows some things! Maybe not enough to predict that the dream experiment was a bad idea, but enough that he at least knows Taako's spells for a day are limited. Still, he wouldn't have offered if he couldn't, so Cisco nods. ]

Let's do that. Doesn't need to be fancy, just somewhere with a stove and a little space to work.

[ Despite how long they've been friends, Cisco hasn't ever actually cooked for Taako before. In another situation he might be nervous about it (Taako's a former professional chef and all), but maybe that just means now is the perfect time. He's too busy chewing over everything that had happened in that messed up dream vibe to worry about his cooking not being good enough. ]
