He cants his head a little at the statement about a message. "What friend?" He can't imagine the two of them have anyone in common.

"I like alliterations." He deadpans before taking another sip from his drink, waving his freehand. "And... I didn't come up with it. Someone else did. And I didn't hate it and it kinda stuck." He shrugs. That was about as fond as he'd ever get about Cisco, shame the nerd wasn't around to hear it.
