[ Cisco makes a big show of rolling his shoulders, cracking each knuckle in turn, shifting and sitting up with better posture before he picks up the gamepad and switches their level over to the play mode. Knowing where the various traps and tricky sections are doesn't mean Cisco has the muscle memory to get through them just yet. He dies within about twenty seconds on his first run, looking up to meet Harry's eyes, knowing he's going to look smug and gloating.
But he'd much rather smug and gloating than that unfocused, lost look he'd seen when he first came in.
On his second attempt Cisco gets much further, until he forgets about the hidden blocks and crashes straight into them, plummeting down to the lava with a drawn out groan of disappointment. ]
Dammit!
[ The third time he makes a stupid mistake early on and gets creamed by a thwomp. The fourth time he's lost his rhythm and dies the same place he did on his first attempt. ]
I don't wanna hear a word!
[ He's just pre-empting any commentary that Harry might have to offer. The next three times he gets really close. Finally, after another two, he makes it to the end of the level, throwing his arms up in triumph. ]
