[haha! it's fine. Anyway. Scratching his temple with the (not food) end of the spoon he was stirring with before he shrugs and goes to sit on the counter. Butt right on it. Lup would be so mad.]
[He says this earnestly. In the sink, he rinses his hands off. Then he takes one of the furry-leader-imprinted towels Francy so kindly gave us to wet a piece of one end.
When he goes back to Taako, he offers it out. For the nose.]
Is this why you don't care much for me in regards to your sister? My level is too low? I have no amazing spells?
[This time, he leans his lower back against the counter, and he crosses his arms. He's behaving? No more nose grabbing.]
She asked you to get to know me, didn't she? Since she encouraged me to do the same thing. [He peers at Taako from around a shoulder.] I don't blame you. You want the best for her because you care about her.
I know this because she is like this about you, and you're twins. [He smiles a little cheesily.] I won't tell.
[He'll look, a little irritated at first but it softens after a second - mostly because he doesn't have the energy to keep up being that pissy towards Blanca. He isn't really that mad at him, truthfully.]
Yes. Just haven't decided how long I'm going to be mad about it. I'm allowed a few days at least.
Well I'm retired too, but somehow bullshit keeps happening to me!
[Huffing a bit of a laugh - humorless - at that.]
Right. Well. Just keep it in mind. What else . . . what else . . . implied I could poison you if I wanted to . . . revealed a little emotional core you so you're a tiny bit charmed by my vulnerability . . . told you not to do some stupid bullshit that I'd have to kill you for . . . Oh! I guess if you do have a deep fuckin' desire to murder, I'll help you instead. That's whatever. It's fine.

[haha! it's fine. Anyway. Scratching his temple with the (not food) end of the spoon he was stirring with before he shrugs and goes to sit on the counter. Butt right on it. Lup would be so mad.]
So, what's your deal?
no subject
I beg your pardon? What do you mean?
no subject
[Why does he say that like it's a curse word.]
So, like I said. What's your deal. What's the Blanca elevator speech. Who the shit are you?
no subject
[The usual playful smile returns, and he leans on the counter with a hip.]
Blanca. [He extends one of his hands out to Taako for a hand shake.] I'm retired.
But I returned briefly for a small job in New York, and I was on the way back to the Caribbean before ending up here.
no subject
That's about the most ominous job description I've ever heard, my guy.
no subject
I was a contractual worker. [But he's smiling, so he understands Taako is pressing him for better information.] Of the... liability variety.
People hired me to get rid of their "problems."
no subject
[Taako's hands are definitely covered in flour, so, enjoy that.]
no subject
I was an assassin. I had the right skill set, I suppose.
[Glancing up, he quickly reaches out to pinch Taako's nose between two fingers, very briefly, just to get flour off on it.
And then he starts to move to the sink.]
no subject
[Swiping at him, like an angry cat, but he doesn't try very hard to actually hit him before he goes to cover his nose with his hands.]
I'm a level fuckin' 20 Wizard you know. With powers I can literally rip space-time in half.

Is this why you don't care much for me in regards to your sister? My level is too low? I have no amazing spells?
no subject
Oh, we're doing this, then?
no subject
[This time, he leans his lower back against the counter, and he crosses his arms. He's behaving? No more nose grabbing.]

I know this because she is like this about you, and you're twins. [He smiles a little cheesily.] I won't tell.
no subject
[Taako is just mildly amused at his own joke, not really looking back at Blanca. More just twisting his hands in his lap, kicking his legs.]
And for the record my instructions weren't to get to know you, I don't gotta do that at all. And I don't have to be nice either.
[He sniffs, making a bit of a face.]
And we aren't exactly the same. For example, I tell her when things happen.
no subject
I don't mind if you aren't nice. Well, I don't mind if you aren't nice to me.
[He peers at Taako again, both brows rising for a moment.]
Is that why? [Taako is upset, but Blanca doesn't say this.] Because she didn't tell you, and you share everything?
no subject
See? Not everything has to do with you, Mr. Self-centered.
no subject
I wouldn't like it either, [he offers. His expression softens slightly.] I apologize that I can't offer to tell you instead.
Since I know it's not about hearing it at all from me, Mr. Self-Centered. Taako. [Just to see if he'll look.] Have you told her this?
no subject
Yes. Just haven't decided how long I'm going to be mad about it. I'm allowed a few days at least.
no subject
[Don't encourage Taako. He is, though.
He turns in place.]
I know you're trying for the perfect cookies, but... I'll be your taste-tester if you make some more.
[He smiles real big. Like a big, dumb idiot. Like he's saying, "Pleeeeeeeease?"]
no subject
Uh-huh. You and every other vulture in this place. You're all animals, you know.
[He goes quiet for a second, tucking his hair behind his ears while he thinks over his next move.]
Are you going to report back on me? Did I get a good grade?
no subject
[He raises his brows again before grinning slightly.]
I can, if you want. The grade depends on how many cookies you let me try.
no subject
[His leg bounces a bit while he thinks all this over then, before he tilts his head and, with all the fondness in the whole world:]
She doesn't tell me things all the time, you know. She doesn't tell anybody everything. You should know that.
no subject
[He holds up a hand to help Taako down from the counter. If Taako wanted to take it, he guesses.]
no subject
[He'll take it, hopping down off the counter finally.]
And if you kill someone here, don't get her involved.
no subject
I did say I was retired. [And also he went back to take another job, it's fine.] Not to worry.
I wouldn't do that to her. I believe she might be into enough as it is.
no subject
[Huffing a bit of a laugh - humorless - at that.]
Right. Well. Just keep it in mind. What else . . . what else . . . implied I could poison you if I wanted to . . . revealed a little emotional core you so you're a tiny bit charmed by my vulnerability . . . told you not to do some stupid bullshit that I'd have to kill you for . . .
