I think you are overestimating his ability to accomplish anything without Diggle and Felicity there to help. The dude's great with a bow and arrow, but strategy and like, planning? Not his strong suit. And don't even get me started on people skills.
[ Cisco feels just the tiniest bit bad, for dragging Oliver this much, but only for a moment. If it'll be a little boost to Eddie's ego, what's the harm? And besides... it is true. When he'd been on his own, Oliver had pretty much just murdered people and thought that was a sustainable way to fix things.
He finishes smoothing the shaving cream over Eddie's neck, chin, jaw, and up his cheeks as far as it needs to go. Cisco picks up the razor, and takes a moment to orient himself. He may have washed hair for other people plenty of times before, but he's never shaved another person before. Still, he is relatively confident in his manual dexterity.
During that pause, he looks again at Eddie's chest, unembarrassed now that it's clear he's not just checking him out. His stomach seems to drop a little at what he sees. He reaches out with his free hand, cautious but also curious. ]
I know Tockman shot you during the blackout 'cause Barry talked about seeing you in the hospital. [ He gently touches a fingertip to the small round scar nearer to Eddie's shoulder, which looks older than the other scars. ] And I know John stabbed you a couple months ago... [ He moves that fingertip to the scar that more clearly looks like it was made by a knife, and which also looks the newest. ] ...but there's this one, too. Did you get stabbed and shot twice?!
[ He again slides that fingertip over to the small scar directly over Eddie's heart, a little furrow forming between his brows. He looks up at Eddie, confused, but a little in awe, too. ]
