[ It always makes Cisco happy, any time he can make Hana laugh - even if it does sound a little pathetic at the moment, and leads her into a tiny coughing fit. He rubs a hand against her back absently as she coughs, and once she is breathing normally once more, returns to braiding her hair. ]

Ooooh yeah. I absolutely know, trust me.

[ He fishes the spare elastic band he keeps in his pocket out and uses it to tie off the end of the braid, flipping it over Hana's shoulder as he says: ]

You don't gotta justify it to me or anything, Hana. But for what it's worth, I have so been there. I mean- this might sound weird to you, since you met me post-Eddie and everything, but I spent a lot of time in my life being the guy who was bored out of my mind 'cause everybody was suddenly off doing coupley things for couples.

[ He's not entirely sure who she's talking about, when she mentions a lot of people pairing up lately, but he sets aside his desire to gossip for once since he thinks focusing on it won't make Hana feel any better. ]

Now, I gotta ask. Apart from getting you sick, this Jason guy... he treats you okay?

[ Cisco knows they're not dating, and knows that Hana can take care of herself, but that doesn't stop him from asking. Even the strongest, most self-reliant and sensible person in the world could end up in a pretty bad dynamic, given the right circumstances. And especially with her all sick and miserable, Cisco can't help feeling a little protective. ]
