Hmmmm. Partial credit, maybe. [ He catches that sheepish smile of Eddie's and elbows him very lightly, just enough to be sure Eddie knows that Cisco is kidding and doesn't really think less of him for not having seen it. ] We'll start there.
[ He's surprised that Eddie thinks they might have cons here, but Eddie has been here longer than Cisco. Maybe it would be possible, after all. Nothing as big as comic con, sure, but maybe they could find something, or if not, arrange one themselves. It would be a bit of work, sure, but it's not like Cisco is lacking in free time, here.
(And why did Eddie have to phrase it like that, that he'd wear a Westley costume for Cisco? He knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that Eddie is just being friendly, saying a costume's not the sort of thing he'd ever do without a friend goading him into it. But after what he'd realized and blurted back at the party about having a bit of a crush on Eddie, now Cisco can't unthink it, and can't pretend that the little flutter of nervous happiness in his stomach is anything else. Dammit.) ]
Yeah.
[ He may not have lost his father, but Cisco has anger like that, over things that were taken from him. Not really people, and not possessions, but less tangible things. He wants back the person that he was a year ago, but it's every bit as impossible as Inigo getting his dad back from the dead. Cisco shifts on the couch, pulling his knees closer to his chest so he can wrap his arms around his legs. ]
Way too many kids' movies, they're on a whole sanctimonious "revenge isn't the answer, just forgive people or you're as bad as they are" but The Princess Bride don't play like that.
