Jon breaks when Tim does, and fidgets with his empty glass. Is he meant to fetch them a second round? He supposes Tim will start giving orders, if so, and he'll... go along with it. He doesn't know how to repair this. He doesn't even know how not to make it worse.
There is so much he doesn't know how to say: all the little gifts and cruelties of Deerington. At least when Sasha had arrived, she'd been very quickly— brutally— brought up to speed. And Gerry didn't ask many questions, nor bat an eye at most of the answers. For all that they'd been silently hoping Tim might arrive, Jon hadn't exactly planned for this conversation.
