That makes sense. I...get that. But how do I...I don't really know how to say that to him, without him getting angry. [ Because Dodger does have a bit of a temper. ] I don't want to make him...mad.

[ He's not really sure if it's worth it sometimes. But maybe breaking it off would be for the best. But when was the right time to do something like that? ]

Oh. I'm...so sorry, Cisco. [ If he was better at it he'd offer some form of physical comfort. But he's not really good with it when it comes to people he's unused to touching. ]

I can't imagine how that must feel...looking up to someone and then learning and seeing them do that.
