[As much as Lup can be bribed by one cat, Taako is not convinced by just one. But seeing the second one wrestle out, almost identical-- ugh, he's such a sap. He's so full of gooey emotions and now Taako's feeling them too, how gross. Not that he has an interest in saving Barry from his punishment, Taako has waited long enough to not be touching cats Right Now. He slides off his menagerie of chairs easily, stretching his arms out to pluck the one on his ear off Barry's shoulder. Not the claw one, of course not. He's helping.]

Aww, there you go dear, your bud has the fight on this one.

[He purposefully won't put it on his shoulders though, just a gentle little arm cradle.]

Jeez Bar, who'd you rob for these? Unless your new monster power is smelling enough like stinky ass fish you can summon every cat on the continent.

[Taako isn't even looking at Barry right now though. His eyes are Only on this cat, so it's fair to say he's properly smitten.]
