[ Cisco huffs a little laugh; he should've figured that that phrase wouldn't translate all that well. When he was new here, Cisco had tried cutting down on the slang and pop culture references in his everyday speech, since he knew it made the things he said inaccessible to a lot of folks here in the Quarantine. It had been a good idea in theory, but it had ended up just making his words stilted and self-conscious and humorless. Since then he'd gone back to speaking normally, and either people will pick stuff up from context, or they'll ask like Poe has just done, and he can explain. ]

As they come to the top, Cisco's heart is racing in a way that has nothing to do with the exertion of climbing the hill. But Poe is, perhaps, a little bit right. He had never been a thrill-seeker, but he was more of an optimist, once upon a time. He didn't worry, in the past, about getting hurt quite so much. Maybe he should practice... ]
