The last thing Cisco will have to do is prove himself to someone like Matt. He can already sense the warmth about him, the genuine nature that makes someone like Cisco so special. Besides, someone who both knows science and pop culture has to have a pretty remarkable intellect, right?

He does his best not to flush and at least hope that he succeeds. "I'll remember that," he says with a quiet smile. While he might think that Cisco is worth all of the compliments he can manage, he can at least remember to be a little more discreet.

Matt can't help himself, he reaches out to squeeze Cisco's hand gently. "How about a good porter? Something nice and complex." Setting them both on a more even keel - they can talk beer and whatever comes to mind before trivia kicks off and just.. go from there.
