[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.

[Just leave the fourth wall intact, Juno. What's more important is what's just happened and Juno's incredible, absolutely perfect reaction to the entire thing. He will give one point in the Taaco Twin Vore Corner for this one- sometimes it's just too good to pass up. He just grins, a little wider than he probably should be able to, the edge of a fang poking out of one side; it's pretty much impossible to do that mouth trick without his fangs unfolding, which probably only serves more to make him look dangerous. Mostly he just feels very powerful, which is a great feeling to have when he's been powerless for so many months.]

I mean, probably. Who knows what elves are like in other places. But I'll give you the freebie that I picked up that one here. Actually pretty useful, though kinda weird to like, get used to? It's like, it's own genre of mouthfeel.

[Do any of those words make sense in that order, or even at all? Who Fucking Knows.]

You look interested, though. Talk to me about that, boyo.

[Is he getting closer? Yeah. He's not being subtle about the way his torso leans in, face getting closer to Juno's like a dare.]

[Is it weird that, for once in his life, Juno wishes he were in wereraccoon form so he can't be as easily read or threatened? That's probably weird, right? He's not quite sure how to feel about that, but now's not the time to unpack that.

Juno doesn't move away from Taako. Instead, he just gives him a conman grin, still resting his head in his hands.]

I mean, what is there to talk about? [He traces the edge of his glass with his index finger, raising an eyebrow.] Besides the fact that I probably never want to see you eat someone like that. You use that mouth for things other than eating?

[Good job, Steel. Nailed it. This is treading into very dangerous territory right now.]

[Look, it's all about power. Taako felt bad without his magic until he got... something at least out of this place. It's not what he'd prefer- physical capability was never his style- but at the very least this lets him be formidable in a new way, a thing he can handle. And in a certain way, it worked- he was a lazy funny guy until now it's becoming a problem and Juno has no defenses against that.

That, he can savor.

And uh, by the sounds of it, something else very soon. Taako grins, almost too wide, looking incredibly pleased at this line of questioning.]

Weeeeell, someone's pickin' up what I'm puttin' down. Good job, detective.

[He lets his tongue slip on that word, just a bit forked at the end, as his hand puts the now empty glass down on the counter.]

Use it for plenty of things. But if you wanna be done talking, I think there's lots of times we could talk if that ain't where this is going.

[Oh, yeah. The alcohol is finally settling into Juno's system. Granted, ever since he got here, he had the intention of being stupid for a few hours, and he seems to be accomplishing that so far. He tilts his head to the side, a half-grin on his face--a dare.]

Depends. You can use that tongue to talk all you want, but can you use it to shut other people up?

[The poor bartender starts walking by to pick up Taako's empty drink, perhaps ask if he needs a refill, and pauses a moment as if to evaluate the situation. He then scoots forward to grab it, quickly excusing himself back to the other side of the bar. Juno watches him from the corner of his eye, mildly amused.

He's waiting--hell if he's going to make the first move. Making the first move shows desperation, a vulnerability he's reluctant to admit. Maybe if he just keeps shooting back sarcastic remarks, they'll eventually get somewhere.]

[He is, in fact, a perfect person to be a fucking moron with. As hard as Taako is trying to get smashed, it's desperately hard being this big and taking so goddamn long to digest anything, so while Juno might be sinking like a stone Taako is sharp and grinning. Last month sucked, he expects this month to suck, he had to become a fuckin cannibal a few days back. Fuck it. He's taking his enjoyment where it comes.

He's not even paying attention to the bartender's existence, already as in control of the situation as he wants. He might not be as finessed with his tail as he is with magic, but that's not going to stop him from letting the end that was around his barstool slip up behind Juno. Just as he leans in, craning himself taller to look down at the other man, Juno will find himself pushed forward so their faces are only inches apart.]

That depends on how loud you wanna scream.

[His tail coils around towards Juno's middle at the same time he surges forward, lightning quick, to grab Juno's face and pull him into a kiss. Thankfully naga fangs fold back when not in use, but his tongue is longer than a normal person's now, and he is very, very good with that.]

I--

[Like a rat being caught in a trap (or a raccoon being caught by a snake), Juno has hardly any time to retort or even react before being pulled into the kiss. His eyes widen briefly in surprise, but that expression quickly fades when he starts kissing back, his hands gripping Taako's shoulders tightly.

When Juno finally pulls away to catch his breath, he stares up at Taako, his brain completely and utterly scrambled. It probably doesn't help that he's drunk, too. He tries to pull some amount of words from his thoughts to form a coherent sentence, still reeling from the experience.]

Some tongue, huh?

[oh my god. that was probably the stupidest thing that could've come out of his mouth kill him now]

[Maybe unfortunately for Juno, Taako is not at all intoxicated, because snake digestion sucks and he hasn't yet figured out how to hack that one. This means he's very cognizant but also incredibly pleased at the entire experience. Juno pulls him into it and there's a small huff of breath when they part, a pleased little grin on his mouth.

It only goes wider when Juno apparently forgets all words. Oh, this is great. This is the kind of shit he needed.]

Oh, you're impressed now?

[He stays close, feeling the breath from Juno's mouth, feeling like he can almost feel his heartbeat.]

I think I can be a lot more impressive than that, if you've got a place to hang.

[Is this the direction that Juno expected the day to go? No. Is he bothered by this? Absolutely not.]

Sure do. Probably not as impressive as--I haven't cleaned in like, a month, so it's not--

[He pauses, trying to untangle his words and rubbing his face. He shakes his head as if to clear it and lets out a small snort.]

--Whatever. You get what I'm saying. [Another pause.] Sooooo...my place, then?

[Surely showing Taako the location of his apartment will have no future consequences regarding a future break in regarding his cat, which he currently does not have.]

[This is at least 75% of what Taako was hoping for today. The last few months have sucked and he needs something new and interesting.

Plus like, he has two dicks now, and he's pretty sure they're mostly prehensile. It's gonna be a fun surprise for everyone involved.]

Don't worry babe, if this goes the way it's headin' I don't think I'm gonna spend much time looking at your house.

[He winks, as if that wasn't obvious. Better hope you can fit him in your bedroom, Juno, or we're leaving the door open to get it on out here. He smooths his hand, surprisingly gentle, down Juno's chest from his face to wrap around an arm.]

Let's bust this joint, huh?
