Matthew was silent before he crouched down in front of Jace. He wanted to reach out but he can't, he didn't want Jace to feel even more horrible because of him so he just held back and kept himself quiet to think over what Jace had said.
"You could stay at your place for now and I could support you," he said this slowly, pondering, "or you could stay with me but in a separate room and I won't come near you unless you ask." Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a handkerchief and held it out to Jace, keeping his tone as careful as he could. "And they'll be coming out the way they came in. I'm sorry. Again."
