[Tilting his head, Eddie looks into Cisco's face and offers him a soft smile.]

Hey. All of this is pretty normal, okay? I've seen a lot of people who've dealt with violence and manipulation like this, at my job. I've interviewed them, I've seen them at trial, and this is normal. I know it's not fun, I know it's awful to deal with, but it's not weird. You're not weird, and all of this is totally valid, okay?

[Gently, Eddie keeps touching Cisco's face, and when Cisco gets up on his toes to kiss him, Eddie kisses back. Presses another one to Cisco's forehead as Cisco says he can drop the shield, that he wants to take a shower. Eddie nods, and takes a breath, lets go of the feelings he's been holding onto to keep the shield up, and it falls, disappearing abruptly, his eyes going back to normal. He's a little fatigued, a little shaky, but there's no nosebleed. Smiling a bit, the expression sad and fond, Eddie pushes some of Cisco's hair and nods.]

Of course. I can wash your hair, if you want.
