Let's be real, it's definitely scoring some food in this instance. Not that Taako minds, or would have it any other way. It's maybe not as much a victory to impress Magnus with food, since he doesn't exactly have the most discerning palate, but Taako doesn't have anything to prove here. It's about making his family happy or whatever. With free good shit. That's how you know it's unreal, the free part.

That doesn't mean he can't give him hell though. Not for being late, that's whatever, but don't showers exist on this plane? Not much of an ideal world if they don't.

He surveys Magnus with an eye that is, if anything, more critical than usual, just by lack of exposure to the unhygienic context that is adventuring.

"You know Mags, when I said bringin in dogs would be a health code violation, I didn't mean it as a challenge."
