[ Hana runs her fingers along the braid carefully, admiring Cisco's handiwork with a smile before she looks back at him to listen. She may or may not be sinking further into the cushions of the couch the more he talks - to Hana, it's a little embarrassing that she got... desperate enough to seek Jason out. She likes to think that she was in complete control of the situation and Jason certainly did his part to let her know that she was, but the fact of the matter that she doesn't really want to admit to herself is that her loneliness was borne out of seeing other people's... couple-ness.
So to Cisco's question, she basically just melts into a puddle on the couch. ]
Yeah - I mean, like I said, he's a friend? And he's a good friend. Fun. I have a feeling he's one of those guys that puts a mean show on because they don't want people to know how much they actually care - that kind of thing? Totally not boyfriend material for sure, not that I'm looking. I promise he's fine, Cisco.
Hey, come on. I'm not talking about boyfriend stuff at all. Friends can treat you like shit, too. I mean, they shouldn't, but I'm just sayin'. It happens.
[ Cisco has definitely had his fair share of "friends" who were less than ideal - everything from Dr. Wells who had straight up murdered him, to people he'd known in high school who would be kind enough to him when they were alone but would pretend not to know him or even mock him, when they were around their other friends.
But from the sound of it, Jason is decent to her - though Cisco's eyes narrow at that whole "putting on a mean show" bit. Sounds like it might be a justification, something that could easily slide into excusing mean behavior by calling it just a show. But for now, he nods, accepting her promise. ]
Alright, alright. I won't text him any dire warnings about shotguns and shovels. Yet.
[ He looks over, sees how far Hana has receded into the couch, and decides to cut her a break. ]

Okay, at ease, I'm done grilling you for today.
