[Eddie can feel it, the way Cisco is coming apart at the edges, a little bit. That he's being quiet and calm out of shock rather than any kind of nonchalance about the situation. It's exactly what Eddie would expect from a situation like this, the shock and the slowly building onset of emotion, the inevitable fall as it really registers.
Cisco buckles himself in on autopilot and Eddie's driving as soon as he can, pulling out into the street and being just a touch reckless as he heads toward their apartment. He wants Cisco to be somewhere safe, and confined, with a locked door and a blanket and comfortable clothes and someone to hold him, when this breaks through the shell of shock. He wants to make this as easy as he can.
But Cisco's voice is already shaking a bit when he explains how it had happened, that he was walking along the road and Eobard was just there and Eddie's throat feels suddenly tight with sympathetic fear.]
