[He's still stuck in this doorway and there's not much he can do other than watch Felix waffle between wanting to leave and considering helping Taako out, so he waits. Not that long, mind you, but he does wait to see if Felix will finish that thought off.

When he doesn't? Taako rolls his eyes again, his entire body following the motion as he walks toward Felix up to the very edge that the mistletoe will allow him to go.]

Just what? Taken? Uninterested? If guys aren't your thing, there's no shame in sayin' so.

[He shrugs easily.]

It's not like I'm asking you to take me to Mack Town, I just need a kiss to get me free of this voyeur plant. Hand or cheek'd work just as fine.

[scanninggaydis]

I've never heard of it working that way with two adults...but sure, we can try.

[He's really not going to answer "just what", even though neither of those things are true. Well, again, except in the sense that he's not actively interested in Taako specifically.

Anyway. Felix finally starts walking towards Taako, and then past him just a step or two. So that he's firmly within the barrier's confines.

Without saying anything else, he holds out his hand. Palm up.]

[abracafcku]

So you've had run-ins with this freaky plant before, huh?

[Taako raises an eyebrow because if Felix's world is responsible for these mistletoe things, he's going to have to both kiss and punch him at the same time. The shenanigans have been fun sure enough, but Taako's also a busy wizard with stuff to do which the mistletoe has been thoroughly interfering with.

He places a hand in Felix's and grins.]

You're all sorts of business, aren't you?

[scanninggaydis]

[Excuse you, his world has absolutely nothing to do with these mistletoe things.]

Sadly, this isn't my first experience with being kidnapped and held in a multi-versal prison.

[He sort of smiles at the second question and shrugs without really answering it and then lifts his hand to kiss the back of it. It's not....an overly showy kiss, but he also doesn't just peck and drop.

After, he lets go of Taako's hand and then gestures towards the inside of the Melting Pot.]

Well. Let's see if that worked.

[abracafcku]

Just a popular guy all around, huh?

[Business-like to the very end, Taako smirks when Felix gives his hand a chaste little kiss. It's all he really needs to make sure he's free of the mistletoe's voyeuristic curse, but Taako does regret not teasing the man a little more about it. Ah well, missed opportunities.

With his hand back, the elf swings his umbrella around and nods. He has a very easy and satisfying way to tell whether or not the kiss worked.

Taking the Umbra Staff, Taako points it upwards and launches a fireball out of the tip. It hits the plant square on with a little more force than necessary, blasting it off the ceiling and sending it skittering off along the floor, leaving charred and burning remnants behind.

Taako lets out a triumphant whoop and then flips the plant off with both hands, grinning.]

Oh yeah, that deeeeefinitely worked.

[scanninggaydis]

[...Huh.]

Powerful umbrella.

Maybe kind of overkill, but I get the impulse.

[abracafcku]

Best focus I've ever found.

[Taako spins the umbrella around until he flips it up and rests it against his shoulder with a smirk.]

But the power's all mine, my dude. Shop's open now, if you wanna come in and grab somethin' to eat or if you were on way to somewhere else, don't let me keep you.

[scanninggaydis]

Oh. [He glances at the umbrella again - curious, not concerned - and then back at Taako.] I was going to ask about the mechanics of fitting fuel into something that streamlined, but...I guess that makes sense too.

[Sort of in response to Taako's offer, he crosses the threshold of the doorway into the restaurant.]

[abracafcku]

[He barks out a laugh and shakes his head.]

I'm a magic elf, my dude, magic's the easiest answer when it comes to me.

[Magic and talent and skill, but yes, usually magic. With that all set and done, Taako heads to the kitchen, hanging his umbrella on a hook by the door. He pulls an apron from a clean stack and tosses it on, tying it deftly behind him in a fluid, practiced motion.]

So what can I do you for? You here for a meal or just some munchies?
