It was probably at least implicit that he also wasn't supposed to look for Prospero, or to come hang out at Milliways for way longer than he usually might with magical paraphernalia sitting around.
... Look, it also works for running into Ronan! Which he also wants to do! This right here is multitasking.
Multitasking that has just moved over by the Observation Window!
Matt's expression, meanwhile, sharpens-- in alarm.
"Oh, snap."
It's one thing to want a little recognition for all the hard work you're doing while your brother gets his bookworm on. But extirpation is a whole other ballgame.

A lot, as it happens. He finds himself thinking back to conversations with Nita.
(and you want to help people
I think I want to try)
"I think it's a large part," Matt agrees thoughtfully.
He glances at Prospero curiously. "Too late ...?"

"Okay." Still unsure about if it's cool to be out and magical in his whenwhere, but Matt wants to listen a little more before asking anything else.

He's clearly not suffering in the public relations department.
Or ... he wouldn't be. If it weren't for his brother. Apparently.
(Matt kind of hopes KR takes over his life one day. She'd be good at it, assuming the magic didn't freak her out.
Okay, scratch that. He's doing all right for himself.)
"So ... what did he do, exactly?"

"That's how you got there ... by shipwreck."
He wonders briefly if the strain and the emotional pain is what kicked Prospero's abilities into high gear.
"Wow. I'm sorry."

More along the lines of what you'd expect from a guy who enlists unhappy spirits into his service.
"Like in a karmic sense, or something a little more direct?"
