As we both know, you would win easily at the moment, so I will not take my chances.
[ . . . but
he'll listen to that and then he'll move to get up along with taako, just so that he doesn't have to feel like he's alone in just about. anything. right now.]
.... is there a reason why you can't ask her? Are you afraid of her answer?
[Despite the very serious bomb he just dropped, he seems to brighten up again after a moment.]
Besides, I know what the answer is. And I also get it? I can't be the asshole brother that tries to pick at that stupid scab. I kinda need her to be that person that's better and stronger than me?
Is the answer that she couldn't take the risk with you, even though she could take a risk with herself? That she cherished you even more than her own well-being?
[if
soo-won could take a stab at the reasoning, he'd guess it's that]
.... I still think that you are a very impressive person, Taako.
[Though, of course, doesn't that imply the inverse is also true? That some part of her didn't believe he was strong enough to make it.
Swishing the end of his hair now at that.]
No duh, homie. Say some shit I don't know. Hey, uh-- thanks for, y'know. Letting me verbal diarrhea all this. Guess I really do you owe you some meals.
You're welcome - and while I won't say no to your cooking, I do mean it when I say that I like knowing about you, and holding onto your memories for you.
That in and of itself is a pleasure.
[a beat]
Even though I really want to have your cooking, too.

[He . . . he gets up, brushing his clothes off, straightening out his hair.]
. . . I guess I can't stop thinking lately, uh. Why didn't she ask me?
[His hands twist together.]
Why didn't she ask me if I'd become a lich with her?

[wow!]

but
that does surprise a laugh out of soo-won, a sincerely amused noise despite the day they had
so that's something]
Oh my... My expectations only continue to climb.

Wait, let me at least escort you back!
[but he'll toddle off to follow very high taako and deliver him back to lup]
