[ Cisco doesn't know the first thing about aerial combat, but fifteen in a single fight has got to be a whole lot, right? He wonders then what the scale is for a typical engagement, and those sorts of specifics, but... this probably isn't the time or place. Maybe once he knows Poe a little better. ]
Gotcha.
[ It's... actually really cool, how proud Poe is of his mother. Cisco's known far too many guys in his life who love their moms, but don't look up to them, don't think of them as fully-rounded people, much less accomplished and impressive ones. His own relationship with his mom, well... that's an entirely different matter. One that he's more than happy not to think or talk about. ]
It's cool, dude. I don't mind answering questions. And yeah, I'm staying. This is home, now.
[ And then, because Cisco's come to expect certain questions when he tells people that, he preemptively explains: ]
I like living somewhere with so many different types of people. Makes Earth seem kinda narrow, by comparison. Only humans, only people from one planet, one time, you know? And the work I'm doing here is important. I'm making more of a difference than I was back home. Plus... there's people that need me here and... not really anybody to miss me there.
[ The reality is more complicated than that, of course. Barry and Caitlin would miss him, at least, at first. His family was bound to notice eventually. But none of them really needed him around. Barry and Caitlin had made that quite clear, in the months after the singularity. He's still planning on sending a message back, explaining the circumstances and his choice - but he's not leaving this moon, and Eddie, and the life he's building here. ]
