Yeah, there's a reason. But it's pretty personal and he doesn't really want a lot of people to know. I can ask him the next time I see him if he minds me telling you, how's that?
[ Cisco thinks that even if Eddie doesn't mind Arya knowing about him being dead, he probably isn't going to want to explain it, himself. It'll take a fair bit of delicacy - because death is always a touchy topic with Arya, and because he'll have to figure out a way to explain Eddie's death that doesn't clue Arya in about Eobard. Particularly not after what she'd done to Snart. And on top of all that, he'll need to impress upon her how important it is that Eddie's death remain a secret.
He can tell that Arya doesn't believe him - or can't - and Cisco wonders if it was the right thing, making this offer, when he isn't completely sure he'll be able to do it. Moments like this grip him now and then: the blind panic that he won't be able to save any of them, Eddie or Arya or even himself. But Cisco has gotten good at squashing those doubts, when they bubble up at inopportune moments. ]
Yes. If you want one.
[ It wouldn't be the first time Central City had gotten new residents from another world, after all. If Harry and Jesse can swing it, despite the other Harrison Wells' notoriety, Cisco's sure the Starks will manage. ]
If I can just figure out how to get us there... if I can do that, everything else will be super easy. You and Jon and Sansa could stay with me, while you're getting used to Central City. My apartment's not giant or anything, but I'd be happy to share it. And you could go to school and Sansa could too if she wanted. They've got fashion schools and things like that, I know she loves making clothes, right? And Jon... we could find something for him to do to help at S.T.A.R. Labs or whatever.
[ Cisco pokes at his ice cream, even though the chocolate is completely mixed in, now, and it's all gone a rather unappealing color. ]
It would be a really big change. And it's not like Central City is 100% safe all the time. But you would be welcome.
