[ Cisco is watching, as Taako walks away, concerned and feeling pretty close to wretched. If there's one thing he can't stand - more than being afraid, more than anything - it's letting his friends down. So he is looking at Taako as there is that weird distortion, a kind of warping of space, and all of a sudden Taako's at his side once again. Which is weird, and alarming.
But not nearly as weird and alarming as what he hears from the stall that's just a few feet away, now. Cisco is mostly looking at the real Taako, but the other one is close enough that Cisco can see both at the same time, and that human as well. Cisco had thought they were just standing close before, but now he realizes they are walking together, and talking together. Which he doesn't think much of at all until he hears Taako say the man's name, and then it's like someone dropped a stone in his stomach.
It all makes sense, in one horrible gut-punch of a moment. Why Taako's acting like this. Why all the urgency. Cisco turns just enough to see the dream-Taako's pout, which is pretty damn cute, or would be, in just about any other circumstance. ]
Oh, fuck no, are you fucking kidding me with this shit?!
[ All traces of sadness and worry over disappointing Taako evaporate in an instant, and all that's left is anger, burning and simple and sharp. Cisco isn't even thinking - he just takes two steps and attempts to shove Sazed over, away from the dream-Taako, but his hands pass through him like he's a hologram, insubstantial. ]
