[Tim is fairly secure about some things, less so about others. He's self-aware, knows his own abilities inside and out, but navigating where he stands with Jason often feels like treading quicksand.
He doesn't answer Jason immediately. He considers his answer while he handles the door and the food delivery, because honestly, there are a lot of reasons not to trust Jason. Most people don't.
Maybe that's part of why Tim does. It may not be perfect or complete, but trust definitely exists. And while experience may show that extending trust to someone with Jason's checkered history is perhaps not the smartest move, Tim is reasonably certain it's the right move. He returns to the table, secretly pleased that Jason's still there.]
If I didn't trust you, Jason, you wouldn't be here.
[A faint smile curls up the corner of his mouth, and he sets the bag down on the table in front of Jason.]
