Eddie nods and he looks genuinely relieved about that. A part of him still would wait to see it for himself but at least he could go to Lucio a little less nervous.)

Eddie cracks a grin and there's a sort of gleam in his eyes.)

No shit? (He tests out the water, just to see Shiro's reaction. Not that 'shit' was a particularly bad word but hey.)
