Matt is generally pretty good at getting to know people. He's bad at having good friends though. He's got lots of acquaintances.
Not at all. First and foremost, Matt wants to be able to help people. He can't shut down conversations like this if that's his goal.
He nods a little as he leans, head tilted, really listening. Matt catches that stumble and while he can't be certain what Adam almost said, he can guess. In all honest, it doesn't matter to Matt whether they're talking about Adam's boyfriend, his friend or just someone he knows. The expression on his face is one of genuine sympathy when Adam says he'd been assaulted. "I'm sorry you went through that. Are you interested in filing assault charges?" He'd have to deal with security for that, but Matt could help him if it were to go to a trial. He's not entirely sure what the rules are for assault here. He knows that Lydia had been assaulted as well, but it wasn't by the Free Enterprise society.
"I"ll be happy to take the case if it comes to that." He puts his hand on Adam's shoulder, squeezing it lightly in a show of comfort and support. "You don't have to pay me anything. I get paid by the computer for providing legal aid."
