[ Cisco not only loves Arnold Palmers, but it has been a pretty exhausting morning and early afternoon, wrangling all this, running interference between Yuri and the clone of himself that Taako had left behind to help set up. Which means that, at a certain point, he realizes he is thirsty and quickly knocks back a couple of big glasses of lemonade and iced tea all mixed together.

The item that happens to draw his attention, as that fascination potion is making its way into his system, is the shoes that Eddie wore to the party. Now, Cisco is already a little bit of a shoe girl even on a normal day, so this is really just amplifying a trend that was already there. And, with the help of that truth potion, he's going to be a little less practiced than usual at inhibiting himself from talking about shoes as much as he is inclined to.

He will also, just in general, be more truthful than usual about other matters in his life. It's one of Cisco's skills that he often manages to present an open and honest persona while actually telling most people very little about his life, so this is an opportunity to find out a bit more, if you think about it. ]

[ Cisco waits for the party to be in full swing, running smoothly with no need for him to referee any disagreements or avert any crises. Once things seem to have calmed down enough, he ducks out, because the present he had gotten for Eddie is not the kind of thing one can wrap in some paper and leave on a table for hours on end.

His choice of this park for the party was strategic; in addition to being lovely and suited to the festivities, it is also just across the street from the quarantine's little animal clinic. Cisco is able to run over there and come back with a cute little carrier hanging from one shoulder. He wants to avoid the worst of the noise, so he waits to catch Eddie's eye and waves to him to come over, away from the tent and the other party guests.

Cisco's eyes are bright with expectation and happiness; there's no point in trying to hide the bag or the little, black-furred and mewing creature that's inside it. He just waits for Eddie to come over, and spot it, and realize what it must be. ]

[ When the effects of the lemonade finally start to fade and Cisco finally, finally shuts up about sneakers, he makes his way onto the dance floor. His dancing is enthusiastic and somewhat unconventional - over-the-top, goofy, and silly at one moment, and surprisingly rhythmic and a little bit sexy at the next moment. He is having a good time letting his hair down (literally and figuratively) and will dance with just about anybody that's interested. ]
