To be honest, the only reason Taako follows Barry around in the unnamed AU is probably because Barry shared one small snack with the strange, quiet assistant of the director.

He can’t say a single word but Barry can just tell by the subtle changes of his vacant expression that Taako likes to mooch treats when he can.
