headcanon that elves, much like dogs, have really expressive ears. like, when they’re threatened, they go back, when they’re excited, they perk up, etc.
so one day taako, kravitz, lup, and barry are on a double date, as they do. taako is off doin something, and lup is also off somewhere. listen man i don’t know the details, barold and krav are talking about their s/os and whatever. barry mentions that he hasn’t seen taako this happy in a long time. kravitz says something about how hard to read taako is and how he can never tell what he’s feeling. barry explains that elves have one obvious tell, their ears. he says that he can tell taako is happy, not just because spending over a century around someone creates that kind of synergy, but also because his ears keep perking up.
“really?” says kravitz. “but his ears are always like that.”
