[It was about fifty percent strategy and fifty percent just Taako being the way he is, but he won't complain about it working to distract Cisco for a few seconds.
He won't even complain about Cisco bringing personal matters into this (which is way ruder than casting spells on unsuspecting friends, tbh), since Taako already kind of expected Eddie to have said something to him. It's not like it's a secret, Taako is just kind of private about his own shit, hence why only a couple of people know about Eddie, and at least one of those people only know that there's someone, not who the particular person is.]
Lemme get this straight... [Actually let him handle this tricky corner, first.
Ok:] Eddie hasn't told you all that much except that we're a thing, but you're expecting me to spill the deets?
[Which isn't to say that he won't, just that he wants Cisco to realize he's kind of backed himself into a corner here, by trying not to throw Eddie under the bus.]
