[Clearly leaving wasn't an option, not since this guy wearing his brother's face seemed to be on the brink of a melt down and his whole body language, the desperation in his tone, the way he was, it was not reassuring. If it had been Paco, he would have hugged him by now but he wasn't. And he didn't give those kind of things out freely.
He stands there in silence for a while, debating the next move. How to be with someone in a situation like this? He tries to put himself in the place of Cisco, remembering the time when he was 100% certain his brother had died. What would it be like to be with Cisco after that? What would he want from that encounter?
In the end, he settles for moving around Cisco and leaning against the wall himself, keeping a small gap between them. Some distance, like he probably needed.]
Look, I don't know what you and your Dante were like but me and my brother? When we're struggling and shit gets hard, we have a fool proof system. [Dante slips his hand into his jacket and pulls out his hip flask, offering it out to Cisco.] It's mostly burying it all, deny it all and then drinking together. Company, it helps. Or that was always my method anyway. Paco seems happy enough to do the whole talking and feeling thing these days. [Dante pulls a face.] I blame Hart and Allen.
