It's a family recipe. The rest I brought for you are from the Internet.

[ Blueberry pie isn't a closely guarded secret. If this were apple, they'd be having words. ]

[spellslots]

That's the thing on our phones, right?

[The internet is new to him, and he's still getting used to everything it can be used for.]

[signifies]

Yeah. You can use the blank bar on top to search for recipes.

[spellslots]

Nice.

[Thank you for changing his life, Clark.

He actually has another question, but first he's going to try this pie that has been tormenting him since Clark brought it into the room. He breaks off a little with his fork, deciding to have the first bite sans ice cream, and pops it in his mouth.

And does a very good Mary Berry impersonation, despite the fact he doesn't actually know who that is.

After a moment of deliberation (and swallowing, because he's not an animal) Taako grins.]

Shit, my man, I haven't had a pie this good for years. You're not half bad at this.

[A true compliment.]

[signifies]

[ Clark smiles warmly. ]

Your coffee is pretty good.

[ Turnabout is fair play. ]

[spellslots]

[That's sweet of him.]

Wait until you try my cooking, that's impressive.

[Look, he's got an ego, there's no denying that, but cooking is something he really is good at. Like, the one thing, aside from the wizard shit, and he's more proud of the cooking.]

Oh, dang, I bet I could use the coffee for flavor in shit, it'd go great with chocolate.

[This isn't exactly revolutionary to most people, but it just occurred to Taako and it's an interesting idea to him.]

[signifies]

It would.

[ No sense telling Taako it's already a thing, just like there's no point telling him his name is actually a Mexican food. ]

I'd be happy to eat anything you make.

[spellslots]

[The texmex mysteries continue to evade him.]

You keep up with this flattery and I'm gonna start wondering if you're angling for a date.

[It's hard to tel if he's joking or not.]

[signifies]

[ Clark chuckles. ]

I don't think I'm your type.

[ He would never dare joke about Taako not being anyone's type. He's very likeable. ]

[spellslots]

That's a big assumption to make, my fella! My type could be anything.

[Not that he really has a type, in all honesty.]

[signifies]

[ Pretty sure it's not Kryptonians, Taako.

Clark laughs softly. ]

I'm not looking for a date.

[spellslots]

Well that does put a damper on things, I will admit.

[He takes a sip of his coffee, ineffectually hiding a grin.]

But listen, my last date was with the literal grim reaper, I'm not totally predictable.

[signifies]

[ Thank goodness he mentions something to focus on, otherwise Clark was going to have several moments of self-consciousness. He thinks of his body as alien first, even if he's aware other people find him attractive.

It's uncomfortable for him. ]

No, I never would've guessed. How did it go?

[spellslots]

Uh, it uh, my umbrella tried to kill him and he accused me of harboring some kind of evil spirit at one point, but it went pretty great!

[Either he's used to messed up shit, or his standards are really low, or a combination of both.

But even though he brought up Kravitz as a joke, something in his posture sinks a little.]

Last time I saw him he was getting sucked into that black oil I mentioned, so who the fuck knows if I'll see him again.

[signifies]

[ uhm ]

I hope you do. He sounds... like an interesting guy.

[spellslots]

Don't get me wrong, he's a huge fucking nerd.

[He blows a strand of hair out of his face, somewhere between annoyed and fond. The former at himself because he's not!! having emotions about this!!]

Shit's pretty fucked up back home, I'll be honest. I think guy troubles are the least of my worries.

[signifies]

So I heard.

[ Nothing about this black oil sounds like good news, and there's only Taako and his friends to deal with it. ]

You want to talk about it?

[spellslots]

[That makes him laugh, shaking his head.]

I wouldn't even know where to start. There's all this fucked up shit and we don't know half of it, all I got is a couple prophecies to go off and a lich who we thought was evil but helped us out, I guess? The only person I trust anymore is a fucking ten year old, so that's where I'm at.

[He doesn't even realize what he's missing, it's a lot more than he thinks.]

[signifies]

[ It sounds like a lot. Clark wouldn't wish this on anyone, and especially not Taako. ]

Well, good luck. Hopefully something here will help you.

[spellslots]

I wouldn't put money on it.

[It's not that he doesn't think people will try, he's just used to relying on himself and no one else.]

I got one idea, but it might be a little dangerous.

[signifies]

[ It probably wouldn't make sense to Clark if he asked Taako to outline it, so he doesn't ask. ]

Do you think it will work?

[spellslots]

Definitely. Probably? It might send me crazy, but only for a little while.

[Magic!!]

[signifies]

[ This sigh is very noticeably long-suffering. ]

Magic?

[spellslots]

I'm for sure not gonna bake a cake that solves the mysteries of the universe.

[It's just lightly teasing, like Clark please.

On the plus side thinking about this is a good distraction from worrying about Kravitz]

[signifies]

You could've fooled me.
