[For a few long moments, he's completely silent, awkwardly so, and he immediately and desperately regrets having said a thing. It's a strange line to walk between opening up because Taako is the one he called to rescue him from the elevator, and keeping his cool because they don't actually know each other all that well, and he feels like he's completely fallen to the wrong end of the line.

Especially when Taako suddenly sounds so awkward and uncertain, then rambles about the rescue before commenting about dying. Dancing around the topic like he doesn't quite know how to settle on it. It's a little reassuring that Taako seems to want to help, but Eddie still finds himself almost painfully embarrassed.]
