[ Bless you, Taako. Both for the wine and for validating Hana. She laughs easily, tossing her head back a bit. ]

Well, only if I get to punch whoever almost stabbed you in bed!

[ And whoever hurt him more recently, but she hasn't gotten to that yet. But more importantly, Cisco is a mutual friend of theirs and how awesome is that!? So many awesome people in one social circle, Hana herself included. ]

And yeah, he's helping me with his mech, and he helped fix up my suit 'cause I got the leg part ripped during the fire. He's such a nice guy!

[spellslots]

[Taako waves off that offer for punching, because he's not even remotely annoyed at Rin about it; the reaction was totally understandable and they parted on decent terms, so... no punching needed.]

He's pretty fucking great. [He says it casually, but Taako is very fond of Cisco.] We've been working on like, some kinda lightweight body armor for me, cause I can't cast spells and shit in full armor.

[In retrospect, that would've been useful like three hours ago.]

[ She nods pretty enthusiastically at that because, really, it hasn't been that long since she's met Cisco but he's already proven himself to be really reliable and more importantly, really pleasant and nice. Hana tilts her head, though, trying to imagine 'some kinda lightweight body armor for Taako' and knowing what Cisco's experience is in... ]

Wait, so, is Cisco making you a superhero suit?

[spellslots]

[See, he wasn't going to say it himself, but as soon as Hana makes the connection, Taako grins.]

Something like that. He keeps fighting me on like, practicality but I've at least got him to agree to some sparkle.

[bunnyhopped]

[ Hana's face just brightens up at that, specifically at the thought of Taako with his very own sparkly superhero suit. Perfect. ]

You remember my flight suit, right? You should get a cute little logo to put on it like mine has the bunny. And definitely some sparkle.

What color is it gonna be?

[ Hana Song, asking all of the Important Questions ]

[spellslots]

How could I forget your flight suit? [It's rad as hell.] I was thinking something on the cooler end of the colour spectrum, haven't totally decided yet but maybe like - purple? Blue? Silver? That kinda thing.

[It's the colours that suit his hair and skintone, so he tends to lean towards them anyway, even if Lup completely ignores that sort of thing and ends up wearing red half the time.]

Not sure about a symbol, I mean - what would I even put?

[bunnyhopped]

[ She looks thoughtful as she mulls over that color selection in her head, and then— ]

I think purple would look really good on you. And silver?

Do you have a favorite element or something? Like, Lup does the whole fire thing, right? So she could have a fire symbol. Or a favorite animal?

[spellslots]

Transmutation's my jam and you can't really put that shit into a symbol, you know?

[Maybe an alchemy symbol, but what Taako does isn't strictly alchemy, so that would feel a little like false advertising.]

The one time I had to do like, a mask and fake identity I went for a mongoose, but that was... a while ago. And not a super fun time.

[He doesn't know about Hurley and Sloane, so his last memory that comes with that mask is watching them die.]

[bunnyhopped]

[ Hana sinks a little bit more into the couch as she takes another sip of wine; humming in thought as she goes. ]

Yeah, I dunno if a mongoose would look as cute on a logo as a bunny does.

Okay, well, what's your superhero name gonna be?

[spellslots]

You know superheroes are supposed to like, save people's lives and shit, right?

[has she.... has she met him? because that's not his jam]

[bunnyhopped]

[ She just levels a flat look at him. ]

What the heck were you doing putting out fires last month, then?

[spellslots]

Uh, I like the people that live there?

[This is fairly obvious to him. He's not about to go around helping out with random fires; he showed up to the one at communal housing because his friends are there.]

[bunnyhopped]

[ She gives him an unimpressed look over the rim of her wineglass and takes another sip, but— ]

Okay, fine.

[ she isn't about to press Taako on his alignment, either. At the end of the day he's been nice and supportive to her and that's honestly what matters most. ]

Anyway, what's going on with you?

[spellslots]

[Chaotic neutral 4 life]

Nothing's going on with me, bubbale.

[He definitely responded to that a little too quickly and a little too defensively, but he tries to play it off with a smile.]

I'm sure whatever you've got going on is way more interesting, was your mech all good after the fire?
