[ Ray sits on the comment for a couple of hours too. Getting drunk has never been a way to get to know people for him, it's a way to let go, kick back, stop thinking. And last time he'd done it, quite recently, he was pretty sure had ended up kissing Leonard Snart. So.
Drinking is currently off the table for him.
But also he can't explain why drinking is off the table.
But he also can't be cryptic about it because that seems to be part of the problem here.
So he goes for a third option. He can trust Cisco with it. ]
[ Okay so....... that's a no on the drinks date? But whatever, he'd told Ray he could talk to him if he wanted to, and he's talking, so Cisco's gonna roll with it. ]
it was a really dope ring.
[ The fact that he's locating his engagement in relation to the whole Deathstroke thing seems.... ominous. Tentatively, Cisco sends a second text: ]
most of those treasure hunt prizes were actually pretty messed up
[ Well, now Cisco feels like a real asshole for being so tetchy. A loss like that and what Jay had done are really apples and oranges, but that doesn't mean he's unsympathetic. ]
i'm really sorry, man. that's awful.
best cure for a hangover is a cheeseburger. pretty sure that's scientifically proven.
[ Damn, Raymond, back at it again with the healthy life choices. Cisco's never let a hangover discourage him before but honestly that's probably not a good sign so he's not gonna question it.
(And he feels a bit bad for thinking it, but it is some relief, hearing that Ray's coping mechanisms are not "just smile and shake it off" 100% of the time, that he can have a bad day and get trashed and then regret it after. That, to Cisco, is actually relatable, for once. ]
so that's a no on the invitation.
got it.
probably good for your liver anyway
[ He would offer an alternative, but like... he can't really think of anything else. And even if Ray's reasons for turning down that offer were good ones, he'd still turned it down. The ball's in his court, now. Cisco's not gonna chase after someone who doesn't meet him halfway. ]
oh snap, you're right, i totally forgot about that. i've even got most a campaign written up and everything we just need to pick a day and find some dice.
it was gonna be you, eddie, barry, bryn, arya... and you don't mind if caitlin joins us now she's here, right?
