[It doesn't really matter that much, who drinks the potion first, the end result is the same: six white threads, the colour of bonds, stretching out between them. There are three that go nowhere in particular, for Merle, Davenport, and Barry, but the other three have definite ends.

Maybe there are others, too. I'm not your dad.]

He's also a fucking skeleton half the time.

[So he can't exactly throw stones in the house of vanity, but that's not the point, as much as Taako tried to brush of Kravtiz's response when it came. He had, genuinely, been worried.

A little more somber, though:]

I'm happy, too.

[He's got Lup back, he has a very handsome boyfriend waiting for him, there's nothing more that Taako needs.

Presuming he doesn't fucking die.]

[umbrastaff]

Skeletons are kinda a family thing now, isn't it?

[She laughs a little, before putting a hand on his cheek.]

You deserve to be, Taako. More than anyone.

[Glancing over at the macarons, however, she laughs.]

The eggwhites are gonna stop being fluffy, dingus.

[spellslots]

I'm over the macarons.

[He's comfortable where he is, except not really, he just wants to enjoy this moment of honesty and openness and thinking about the future without worrying about something little about macarons.]

[umbrastaff]

[She pulls him a little closer into a hug. If he's over something like macarons, he really needed this.

...and frankly, so does she.]

I can't wait to meet him.

[spellslots]

[Taako makes a half-hearted protest at being pulled into the hug, but returns it easily, resting his chin on Lup's shoulder.]

No shovel talks.

[that's The Rule.]

[umbrastaff]

Oh fuck you, he's a skeleton half the time and I can't give him the shovel talk? Mean!

[It might be The Rule, but it would have been so perfect this time.]

[spellslots]

If you pull that shit, I can and will give Barold a shovel talk, and it'll be bad.

[There will be dramatics. Possibly holy symbols. Just to get his point across.]

[umbrastaff]

But Koooooko, he's Death. It's such a perfect joke, why do you hate me?

[Faux pout.]

[spellslots]

I mean, he's dead and I'm pretty sure it happened ages ago but that's, uh, it probably wasn't fun, you know? I dunno if he's gonna want it rubbed in his face.

[With shovel jokes and such. Taako's having a genuine moment of empathy for another person, mark it on the calendar.]

[umbrastaff]

Shit, bro. You're really in deep, aren't you?

[What is this empathy thing from her brother?]

[spellslots]

[Taako huffs, a little awkward.]

He's a good dude, Lulu, and he's not like... I dunno. I like him, a lot? I guess.

[He's great at words.]

[umbrastaff]

Hah! I'm gonna sisterly drag you for this for a long time, baby bro.

[umbrastaff]

...honestly, though. I'm so happy for you.

[spellslots]

[He's ready to fuss a bit more, but honestly, he doesn't need to put on any front around Lup.]

Thanks, Lulu.
