[ He doesn't mean to ask it; he wouldn't have, if they were still communicating by text. But the words just slip out, concerned and quiet. If it had been in that last cycle, that means it couldn't have been the Hunger. And for some reason, that strikes Cisco as being much worse. At least with the Hunger it seemed like it was something they'd all gotten used to, more or less. ]
Well, long as it's a good kind of sob, I think I can live with that.
[ Cisco braces himself for how she'll look, but it's a lot different than he'd pictured. In that brief flash of the battle between Taako, and Barry and Lup and the Hunger, when that creepy elevator had shown up, he hadn't really gotten a close look at Lup. He'd been too preoccupied with everything else going on, and she'd been too busy raining down fiery destruction on the shadowy figures all around them.
He is glad, now, that she had contacted him like this, given him warning. The skull and fire are kind of scary and kind of cool, but it's the outline of her face the way that it had been when she was alive that throws him. If she were totally unrecognizable, in a way it would be easier. But he can still see Lup's face there, just translucently.
So he does applaud, but it's just a fraction delayed. He claps for a few seconds and then, wondering if it's the right move but too worried not to ask, he blurts out: ]
It doesn't hurt, right? Being a lich? I mean... you're not in pain or... anything?
