[ Cisco doesn't have to ask Eddie to tell her if it's going to make Eddie comfortable. There's no need for that -- the fact that Eddie can't leave is probably more important than the reason why. Besides, Eddie doesn't owe her any information. She hasn't exactly told him much.
Arya looks down at her ice cream but nods, slowly, to show that she's understood Cisco's proposition. She doesn't entirely understand why he's offering -- three people is a lot to bring into your home, to take care of, even if it's just temporary. Because Arya doesn't doubt that there's a lot for her and her siblings to get used to in Central City, far more than just movies and cars. It's a completely different culture there, a different way of life. A different world.
But that doesn't bother Arya too much, all things considered. What gives her pause is that she's heard this promise before. Yoren promised to bring her to Jon; the Hound promised to bring her to her aunt. Both men failed, and both men died because of it. How could Cisco ever succeed? Arya can't hope, not after watching Yoren burn with a village and the Hound bleed out by the river.
But Cisco also has a plan, and more importantly, this is something he wants to do. Not for the money, not out of some sense of duty to Arya's dead father, but because he cares about her. That maybe, just maybe, he likes Arya for who she is and not for what she can do for him.
Her eyes are glassy, but underneath that wetness is a smile. She nudges Cisco's foot with her own. ]
Are you this nice to everybody? Is that a Central City custom?
