After like 300 years of living with each other lup and taako have developed like a language of food. Lup knows when taako is pissed and needs to rant about something because he made brownies, taako knows the difference between lup being existentially sad and lup being dead book character sad based on whether or not she puts walnuts in her muffins.
One day lup came into the kind of living space and was like hey guys i made cinnamon rolls, and taako was like cinnamon rolls? Because cinnamon rolls is what lup makes when she gets crushes. But instead of saying anything he makes quiche for dinner that night, which lup knows means “lup i know your fuckin secret spill it”. So the next day she made peanut butter cookies which she knows taako can’t eat which pretty explicitely means “fuck off taako” and they didn’t talk for a week straight
Lup finally caves and sends Barry to Taako’s room with a plate of their aunt’s spice cookies, which they only ever feed to people they love and trust. Taako takes one look at Barry, remembers the context of the argument, grabs a cookie, and runs to Lup’s room. Everyone else on the ship gets woken up to Taako’s screetch of, “Wait, it’s Barold?!”
