[ Cisco nods. John probably doesn't realize it, but he'd picked just the right phrase to convince Cisco it really is okay. After all, Cisco likes helping, too. He understands the need to feel useful, and the need to be a positive influence on other people's lives. It's one of the reasons he'd ended up in this place, after all. He'd lost that feeling, in Central City, after Barry disbanded Team Flash. He'd tried to find substitutes - helping out with the CCPD, reaching out to Caitlin in her grief, befriending Iris, but in the end it hadn't been the same. Here he could make a real difference. ]

Okay. Sweet. Thanks, dude.

[ It's taking some adjusting, getting used to being the one who is helped; to letting people support him, take care of him. But Cisco's better at it now than he was when he first arrived in this place. And John seems a trustworthy enough sort... for now, anyway. ]

Definitely go with the hot spring, then. I actually used to be roommates with the guy who owns one of 'em. Maybe I can blackmail him into giving you some free passes.

[ Cisco is delighted to hear John laugh; he's got kind of a serious face, but when he laughs, it's clear that he means it. It makes him look younger, less care-worn. Seems like a guy who could use a few good laughs. And that is something Cisco is pretty good at providing. ]

MREs? I'm guessing that's some kinda survival rations? Sounds nasty.
