[ Matt's fingers tap softly but irritability against the bar counter as he listens, tension growing as Matt explains. What a waste, a true mess. He would never have let that happen. When Fisk went to jail he wasn't stupid enough to leave a vacuum of power behind. ]
Not a very cooperative client, then.
[ Oh, but there's so much here. It's ironic, the way he says Fisk's name. He can tell how much Matt hates him. They've never been close. They've never shared wine or broken bread or spoke of family as if it could be more than a word. It's a kind of detachment to the situation that he wishes he had the luxury of having. If the Hand hadn't told him to get close. If they hadn't made him turn right back around and stab the man in the back.
God, he wishes he could talk about Wilson Fisk the way Matt does. With righteousness. With disdain. With the proper hatred of an institution that has fucked up his family--their family--instead of the corruption that rotted him.
But more than that, Matt didn't want to help Castle (no surprise there) but he did apparently want to bury Fisk further. And then that talk of getting dirt on the yakuza? He would just create the same vacuum of power and fall into the same trap Castle did except using the law instead of killing people. Even a blind man could see that, but apparently not Matt. ]
Fisk...he was the kingpin in your world, too, right?
[ oh, what an innocent sounding question, filled with a thousand shark teeth. ]
