[ action ]
Everything okay?
heyo
He just gets a bright smile that's only a little forced.]
Yeah, my man, why wouldn't it be?
[His first thought is that Clark was close enough to see, since they were hardly being subtle, but he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.]
hey :>
[ Taako might be able to disguise his face by magic but even he can't cast a spell to disguise a physical fear response.
He can see Taako's not hurt. It hasn't stopped him from worrying. ]
:3c
Wait, what?]
You can hear my heart beat?
[He'll get back to feeling called out in a second, curiosity wins for the moment.
Also: it gives him a second to come up with a response.]
<3
[ He's not eavesdropping on purpose, promise.
Taako should consider how fast Clark showed up: he has a Kryptonian attack dog now. ]
<3
That sure is a thing.
[Kinda cool, kinda creepy, but it's Clark so he's not really bothered, just makes a mental note to maybe... give him a heads up if there's anything he shouldn't be hearing.
But he should probably also address why Clark's here.]
It was just some asshole who can't take a fucking joke.
[He was trying to rile Reaper up a little, but he didn't expect the guns and once they were out he wasn't about to back down. He wanted to see what the guy would do, if he was really volatile enough to have a go at some idiot over a couple of mean jabs.]
no subject
[ Taako has always been good to him. Good doesn't mean nice. ]
You don't mind, do you? I can't turn off my hearing. I'll just try not to if you don't want me to.
no subject
[About people's sense of humour, he means.
The hearing thing just gets a shrug.]
It's cool, bubbale, kinda useful, right?
[He can't quite bring himself to say that he's glad Clark is looking out for him; the words stick somewhere in his chest, a little too vulnerable when he's still on edge, but the thought is there.]
no subject
I don't listen all the time, in case you were worried about your privacy.
[ Ellie joked that he can hear everyone in the building jerking off. Clark's not that amused. ]
no subject
(Repear reminds him of the liches, he realizes belatedly, something halfway between life and death. It's unsettling.)]
Thank Pan for that, here I was worried you were listening to all the shit I talk about you.
[If all else fails: stupid jokes.]
no subject
[ He knows Taako is squishier than he wants others to think!!!!! ]
no subject
[His tone lacks the mocking edge he had with Reaper. It's just playful for Clark, even if h isn't quite feeling it.]
no subject
[ He smiles at Taako. ]
I'll see you around? If you're really in trouble, shout for me.
no subject
Yeah, it's... uh. [C'mon Taako you can do it.] Thanks. For checking.
[#nailed it.]
I'll see ya around.
some time later
Clark slipped this into a bag of groceries Taako asked him to fetch since he was baking up a storm. It's a beeper which can be used as a watch strap or as a decorative bracelet. Press it and it emits a sound at a frequency only Clark (and maybe Jon) can hear. ]
If you can't shout for me, use this.
[ The note is signed with the S. ]
magic (????)
Eventually, once he's done with all his baking for the day, he casts message, and Clark will hear Taako's voice in his mind.]
You know I'm like, a wizard, right? With spells and shit?
[Despite the fact it's just a pseudo-telepathic message, there's both an edge of teasing and a hint of fondness. This is honestly one of the sweetest things anyone has done for him and he's not sure how to handle it, aside from being his regular self.
Clark will be able reply, so long as his response is less than twenty-five words.]
no subject
I know. I can see you wearing it.
also whoops that was supposed to be 'sending' not 'message' im good at d&d
And Taako definitely can't help casting a glance around, as though he'd be able to spot Clark.]
I can't fucking believe I'm burning spell slots on a perv.
[Working on the assumption that Clark is still watching, he sticks his tongue out.]
pls go to sleep
You're welcome.
yes mum
Which is why his response is to just blow a kiss to the air, in lieu of actually saying thank you, because that would clearly be too hard.
He loves Clark, really.]
