[ Cisco worries for about 1 millisecond when Taako takes his wrist that he'll have another vision. He tries braced against it, and it's a relief when nothing happens. But that little moment of doubt means that he's distracted and that brief kiss to his cheek catches him completely off guard. Cisco actually lifts a hand up to cup his cheek where Taako had kissed it, his expression gently stunned.

The action, to him, speaks much louder than the ominous threat that comes after. Even if Taako used to be a mercenary, Cisco doesn't think he'd really kill him if he talked to someone about this. Probably. But since he hadn't been planning on telling anyone in the first place, it all works out. ]

My lips are sealed.

[ And he mimes zipping a zipper across his mouth. He might not be a great liar when directly confronted, but that doesn't mean Cisco's bad at keeping secrets. The trick to it is just to never let anyone suspect there's anything hidden in the first place. ]

Anyway even if I wanted to, which I don't, there's no way I could tell anyone because that'd mean telling them about my powers which is so not happening, so it's like, mutually assured destruction, man. No one wins in that situation.

[ It's true that Eddie knows about his powers, but Cisco figures it's up to Taako how much of this he tells Eddie and when, and he's not going to come close to interfering with that.

The two of them begin to make their way back towards the city, and it's not as thrilling as it had been riding Garyl, but Cisco appreciates the quiet. He thinks maybe the both of them needed a bit of it. It had been a pretty damn eventful day. After a little ways, when he's starting to settled down after the emotional rollercoaster, Cisco starts to talk about the most innocuous thing he can think of, which in this case just happens to be a guy he'd briefly dated in college who was really into hiking and rock climbing and posting facebook photos of himself in a kayak with a sunset in the background, that kind of thing. As they walk Cisco describes their fourth and final date, when the guy had tried to get Cisco to come hike with him to see a waterfall, and just about everything conceivable that could have gone wrong did. It was a funny story - unfortunate, but only in a frivolous rom-com kind of way. And it fills up the silence and passes time while the two of them walk. ]
