[It probably shouldn't be so startling when Taako immediately picks up on the situation, and asks if he needs to come get him. It had been a joke, the way Eddie said it, he was trying to be a little silly. Usually it works, a smile and a joke, to mask when he's feeling uncomfortable. Hell, it had worked after he was rescued from that little room under STAR Labs.

It's kind of stupid, but Eddie's not used to people noticing when things are wrong with him.]

Yeah...haha, I should've known better, but I got stuck in one of the stairwells a few days ago so I thought, you know, at least the elevator is glass and you can see out. Stupid.

[A little laugh, and then.]

I think I'm somewhere between the third and second floor.
