Taako is many things, but still actually asleep isn't one of them. He's had so many decades of lessons that discretion is the better part of valor when it comes to seeming to be conscious. He's tired, not dead, and none of that exchange was especially quiet.

A lot of it, however, was completely fucking inscrutable with one's eyes shut. He doesn't have quite enough time to work out that there's a somatic component to getting older before it hits him in the literal sense, and he enters the day as he undoubtedly once entered life: loud and kinda mad about it.

"Hey what the fuck!" He yelps, scrabbling to a sitting position, with an outraged look at Lup (and only at Lup. Ren is obviously blameless, that's a choice staff and she was right to make it). He manages to make a yawn look pretty offended too, somehow, but there's a limit to how far he can push this performance without seeming ingrateful to his birthday benefactor. Which is obviously not an option here, c'mon, if Ren had her goblin hands in this it's going to be comedy platinum. Worth the odd bruise, tbh.

"I mean, uh. Thanks for the reminder, pumpkin. Hey quick question do we gotta share the staff? Is it my turn yet? Think it's gotta be before I can get older."
