[ It's heartwarming, seeing Eddie hit it off with the kitten, and not just because it's confirmation that he had made a good choice with the present. A lot of guys, no matter how much they loved animals, would maintain a certain tough-guy facade. But not Eddie. Put a kitten in his hands and apparently he goes full-blown sap, and that's something Cisco really likes about him. No pretense, no stupid posturing.
And it's good, to watch Eddie murmuring into the fur between the kitten's huge ears. Eddie's only mentioned it once or twice, but Cisco knows that he misses Central City, and the life he'd had there. He knows that Eddie had had a pet cat, and that's just one of the pieces of the life he can't ever get back. ]
It was a feat of self-restraint, lemme tell you.
[ Cisco is grinning from ear to ear, hiding it as well as he can behind his hands, but it shows nonetheless. ]

I think Shadow's a great name.
