[Here's the thing: Taako absolutely gets it and he doesn't at all begrudge Magnus the time he needs to think it through, he even reaches out to lay a hand on Magnus's arm, a quiet show of sympathy. Maybe he should've gotten them back to the apartment before dropping all this, but it sort of just happened and also the others are likely home, which means Magnus would get swamped before the info drop could happen.

So this is just how it's gonna be.]

Yeah, uh, you weren't. [With Julia, just to confirm that; Taako only knows the bare bones of that still, but he's put most of the pieces together. Magnus met Julia in Raven's Roost, they were in love, Julia died. It sucks.] His name's Dorian and he's still here so that's-- we'll sort that shit out at some point. He's a pretty alright dude, very handsome, so you got that right.

[He resists the urge to say "we're kind of alike" because he mostly means that in terms of being hella emotionally closed off and he won't @ himself like that even if it's true.]
