[ Cisco is already there when Arya arrives. He raises a hand in greeting, a worried smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He doesn't interrupt or rush Arya when she makes a beeline right for the ice cream and starts taking a little bit of everything. Cisco doesn't blame her. He's worried about Sansa back in Westeros, too, and he only barely knows her. She's Arya's sister, and despite whatever differences they'd had in the past, it seems like they love each other a lot.
It's only when she's done and sitting and asking him about Eddie that Cisco gets up and starts looking at the various flavors, trying to pick what he wants. There might be some virtue in making Arya talk about how she feels, but he'll play along for the time being. ]
Hell yeah I am.
[ Cisco opts for the rainbow sherbet, covering it liberally with chocolate syrup before he comes back around to the side of the counter with the stools. He sits down next to Arya, stirs the syrup into the ice cream as he speaks: ]
Almost been three months, now. I kinda can't believe it.
[ Funny, to think how worried he'd been to tell Arya about the two of them, afraid she wouldn't understand, or that she would disapprove. ]
He's really good to me.
[ He nudges the conversation gently towards what Arya is dealing with right now: ]
I'm working really hard to find a way to bring him back with me, when I go home. I'm gonna figure out how this place does it, and when I do, I'm gonna make it so everyone can go home if they want, or... go somewhere else. Somewhere new.
[ Cisco knows better than to make promises he can't keep, but he thinks Arya could use a little hope, right now. No matter how faint. ]
If I can do that, I think you and Sansa and Jon should all come back with us to Central City. If you want. I know Westeros is your home, and it would take a long time to adjust, but I think... I think you'd like it there. Things aren't so hard.
