[ What he wants to type is "OH MY GOD", but that doesn't seem particularly useful. To be fair, he's not entirely sure how he would've reacted to actually having to see that. ]
[ Cisco knows Barry could do without the details, but he's too worried to know what not to say, and he wants Barry to understand the severity of his fuck-up. ]
i am though dude. bad enough he had to deal with eobard sticking his tongue down his throat, without me accusing him of liking it. you should've seen the look on his face.
i don't know, i've been trying to find him but he isn't anywhere.
[ Don't talk about Eobard's tongue for the loVE OF GOD. Honestly, Barry's probably about as worried as Cisco, but texting means he gets to pretend he's composed. Thanks, text. ] it was a misunderstanding, it'll be fine. i'll talk to him.
[ That earns a long pause. Barry knows what happened to Eddie, and he knows that Eobard's still faster than him, still stronger. He knows that the truce is a charade. If Eobard decides to break it, he has no idea what he'll be able to do about it. ]
i know.
[ He almost says it was 'extenuating circumstances', which feels completely obscene. There's no excuse for what happened to Eddie, threats or no, but— ] we just need to stay away from him.
[ Which still sounds an awful lot like "don't give him a reason to hurt you", but Barry's honestly at a loss for better ideas. ]
[ He hadn't asked if Barry was fine, which means Barry volunteering the information that he's fine is a 100% guarantee that he is not anywhere close to fine. But how could either of them be fine. ]

[ Cisco doesn't even acknowledge the questions ]
