It's not explosive or high pitched, just a few shakes of his chest in a knowing chuckle. Of all the people you could say that to, Nate. All of them. You picked Taako "everyone else is walking dust" Taaco.

He crosses his arms, shaking his head just enough to see his hair move with it.]
That's how it is. What happens when you still trust people.
[Taako exhales, like for once he's contemplating what to say instead of just dropping every word out of his mouth in an order he hasn't worked out until it's out of him. He watches the drip of some liquid as he speaks, the drops falling slower and slower like a dying heartbeat.]
