[Realistically, Taako knew he'd find him here. Same place he did when Merle tumbled into the city more than six months ago, up a fucking tree, crooning to some plants. Missing a Merle? Not in one of the stupid crawlspaces in your upside down house? Check a tree! Any tree! You'll be right eventually!
After his encounter with Magnus earlier, part of him fears he'll find a much younger Merle too, and Taako will be alone with the memory of his first two months in the city. With Julia, with forgetting who he was, with-- everything.
But he's not. Hadriel has thrown Taako this one consolation, when he sees Merle meditating, without arm or eye. Maybe it's cruel to wish that trauma on him, but Taako doesn't give a shit. He needs this, okay.
He steps over carefully, sitting cross legged next to him.]
So what, now I gotta pull your ass out of a tree part two? You know where the house is. Or you better, I'm not playing welcome wagon part 2.
