[Taako very suddenly wants to be anywhere but here, out in the forest with Cisco there, his grief like an open wound bleeding everywhere. It's bad enough that Eddie has seen this, that Clark has, but now he's adding one more fucking name to the list of people who've seen him lose it.
The only thing that keeps him from blinking out of existence is the knowledge that Cisco is trying very hard to help.
So Taako doesn't disappear, but he does take a step back, half turning until he finds a spot to sit, at which point he sinks down with his elbows on his knees and head in his hands, hair falling to hide his face.
Not that it really disguises the fact the way his shoulders are shaking with sobs, but he can't do anything about that. He should say something, anything, but he knows he won't get the words out. He just needs a minute. This is a lot.]
