Matt was the liaison who sprang the surprise encounter on both of us. I probably would not have accepted his offer had I known Sebastian would be there.

[He's wondering if he should now leave Matt alone altogether. That's fair maybe, considering the faction divide.]

I believe there maybe be some animosity now, so he felt no desire to hide their partnership in what happened. He did correct me, however, and admits it had been his idea.

He made it a point to say the two of you were even.

[The feeling in his mind is that he does not think for a second Hayame cares about this last bit really.]
