Jack Murdock, Tim assumes. Just by the way Matt says that makes it very clear that he loved his dad. That, probably, they were close, and that Jack Murdock was somebody to be admired. Of course, though. That makes sense. Matt had to have an incredible role model to turn out the way he has.
"You say that like it was a chore." He follows Matt idly to the punching bag. There's a small smile on his face, in his voice, pleased that Matt chose to share this with him. "I like havin' dinner with you."
It's a stark bit of honesty, but it feels like the sort of night for that. He makes a face at the offer. It's not that he doesn't know how to throw a punch, but he's probably out of practice. And military training taught him how to fight in a much different way than how boxers are taught.
"I don't box," he murmurs, but it sounds more like a disclaimer than anything else. Because a second later, he throws a punch. There's something that's clearly combatic about it, a lot of muscle memory despite being a little out of shape for it. "Guess it's good for workin' out frustrations. And your biceps."
