He's a good person. He tries to pretend that he isn't, but he is.

[ Cisco stops pouring when Bill indicates, and then pours himself the exact same amount, settling down. The only reason he is a semi-functional human being right now is because of Taako, and Eddie, and the way they'd both run damage control, keeping him from imploding completely. If he can pay that forward a little by helping Bill, the more the better. ]

[ It's surprisingly easy, making this kind of light chattering small talk, when in actuality everything is pretty terrible. Cisco manages a small, fake smile to match Bill's. He shrugs, but there's no good reason not to answer, even if he really doesn't feel like talking about it. ]

Yeah. Not as much as some people did. Just... some bad stuff that happened before I came here.

[ Cisco gives a tiny shrug, as if that will diminish the way he's voice has gone a bit weird. He takes a sip of his wine, not quite looking at Bill. Then, because he feels like he should say it. ]

I'm sorry the Doctor's gone.
