[ Matt knocks back a long drink of his beer. A date. Haha. Yes. That was a joke, Matt's pretty sure, but if Murdock is insistent, maybe it's not? Is Murdock bisexual? This seems like it wouldn't be that weird to have in common, but it's not something Matt can articulate into words.
Hey, are you bisexual too, or are you just messing with me? seems like a question that would end disastrously for Matt. He's not gonna ask. It feels especially ridiculous when Murdock actually follows up with more of his tale. Talk of Stick sobers him up pretty quick. ]
I'm sorry for your loss.
[ Matt's feeling toward Stick are complicated, but ultimately, Matt feels he has to say it. Stick died? That didn't happen until much later for him. And there's a question forming in his mind about Stick's training—did Murdock get the full thing? Had his Stick asked him to kill as well? Those aren't questions he wants the answer to, really, but he files them away for later.
He doesn't think he could handle the knowledge knowing that there's another him out there who kills, but... the evidence is strong. He just isn't going to deal with that right now. ]
Stick kept the Hand from finding me for a long time, it turned out. Though apparently they were really looking for Elektra. Did you meet Elektra Natchios?
[ Maybe not, if Murdock studied abroad. Which Matt is still going to believe, because it's the only timeline that makes sense to him. ]
