[ Cisco's intentions had been good with the whole blind date thing, but he'd come to realize afterwards that he had, perhaps, overstepped a little.

So he doesn't just show up to Edie's room empty-handed. He has a basket tucked under one arm, filled to the brim with candy, beers, and a serviceable Gameboy-knockoff that he'd managed to throw together with the resources available to him.
