Taako doesn't seem super acquainted with balance, despite or perhaps due to Lup's impromptu drunk engineering; he careens just a bit, clutching at Newt with the arm thrown around his shoulders. But it's fine, Newt's got that low center of gravity, as well as an elven fuckin' scaffold flanking him, this is fine. See, his feet are managing alright, still got enough dex for that, one right in front of the other and onward to...wherever. Not important.
He still has enough perception to spare to catch Newt's namedrop, pick up on the slight mood shift, almost like the alcohol is making the twins swap roles. Well, a little; Lup may be the empathy twin, but she was never the tact twin. And Taako is just doused enough that he doesn't want Newt to have a tragic backstory relapse and escape. Then Lup might also find a new party activity and who would he hang with? Nah. He drops his awful spidery hand off Newt's shoulder and jabs Lup in the ribs, threatening to dissolve their drunken flotilla into elf squabbling.
"Let him LIVE, Lup, damn." That said, she asked a pretty good question, and he has a follow-up, turning his most earnest attention Newt's way. "Is he in the band, too?"
