Beard can tell she's conflicted between wanting to discuss it (she wouldn't have brought it up otherwise), and respecting Ted's privacy. He appreciates her for that, even if it might not be what's best for her.
"I think everyone who knows him sufficiently well does that," he answers lightly. Now more than ever, obviously. Ted is strong, but there's more than one way he doesn't stand up for himself and his own needs. "Do you think it's relevant to what's going on now?" Because obviously, this was three decades ago. It's not necessarily urgent.
