Bruce lifts his eyebrows, in a way that is very clearly pointed, but not in a particularly sharp way. A little warmth, a little tired, a little amused, even, but still a Look.
"I didn't have to contact you about this time. I did. To make arrangements." But then: "Our relationship isn't odd, for me, 'because of Tim'." He doesn't say things without them meaning... something.
And in this case he's telling Kyle a couple of things.
One of them being 'yeah, he knows about the sex but he likes you and would anyway -- or maybe would sleep with Kyle anyway'. Either way. Both ways?
Kyle offers back a very practiced bland look, not even trying to pretend he isn't putting on that face.
"I know you didn't, and I know you fear me about as much as a fly. That doesn't mean I don't like you, Bruce, and if I can be there for you I'm glad you'll let me."
He nods at that, considering asking why it's odd then but this is Duplicity and he could probably think of a dozen reasons or so why.
"Also, on that note, this stays between us. I assume you know that but making that clear. No matter what might happen. Because you're a friend and I want to do what I can."
