[To say he's surprised by the choice to stay would be an understatement. He was being so standoffish, in a way that was somehow different and the same as Cisco remembers, that he thought for sure he'd just go because why deal with this when he doesn't even know Cisco? But maybe the mirror image of his old little brother's face is too much for Dante in his own way, too.
He frowns a little as he watches Dante reach into his jacket, but it's replaced with a small smile that can only be called bittersweet.]
Whiskey? [He asks, taking the flask and taking a drink from it. At least if there's alcohol involved, he has a reason to feel as numb as he does right now.] Sounds like a pretty good plan, if you're not me. [He laughs, something bitter and hollow, shaking his head.] I'm not like your brother. I can't turn that stuff off. [Which was probably pretty obvious, considering he was standing at the edge of a breakdown right here and now. He takes another sip before passing the flask back to him.
Sometimes, he wondered how Paco did it. He's learned enough about his doppelganger to know that they aren't as different as he'd like Cisco to think. But Paco still handles things so much better, so much calmer, and sometimes Cisco thinks it must be easier to live that way.]
