[Juno blinks, frowning at Taako's response to his question, but quickly brushes it off. It sounds like something that, if pursued further, might lead to some very weird and very deep rabbit holes that he does not want to get into at this moment.
....Also, because he gets distracted by Taako literally unhinging his goddamn jaw and gulping up the rest of his drink. Juno opens his mouth as if to comment, but no sound comes out. His expression twists into what one would assume to be the five stages of grief over the span of three seconds. He feels like he should be used to weird body shit at this point, but really, he hasn't hung around nagas that much and he's always caught off guard anyways.
Eventually, he just rests his chin in his hands and says in a tone of a man who's accepted his reality:]
So, that's an interesting party trick you've got there. [A pause. That was somehow repulsive but also...weirdly intriguing.] I'm assuming that's a snake thing and not an "oh shit, elves can actually unhinge their jaws" kind of thing, because, like, if the latter was the case I might have to re-evaluate all the fantasy stories I've ever read.
