He knows. Matt tenses, not because he's mad but because this is a very difficult subject for Tim and for a brief moment Matt's not sure how to handle it. This is new territory, not ventured. Matt gets the feeling it's why Tim drinks. It's why Tim needs someone to fix him.
He decides to treat this like a fragile witness, but instead he sips his scotch and reaches over to gently grasp Tim's hand. His bruised and battered knuckles are nothing to him when he's running his fingers over Tim's own. His gaze isn't on Tim but that doesn't mean he's not paying extremely close attention to him.
"You still did the right thing," He assures. "You did your job, Tim."
