[ Whoa whoa, wait. He looks incredulous as Chilton says 'press charges', and even more-so at the mention of crotch grabbing. Despite being shocked, he almost starts to grin, but quickly loses it when he realizes the gravity of this. Walt had sent him in with less than a full set of information, and now he's not sure what he's apologizing for.
He quickly holds up his free hand, and with one quick shake of his head he backtracks. ]
This has nothing to do with my department, I'm just here as his brother-in-law. Why would you— Come on, press charges? Over that? No, I wasn't worried about it. [ Especially since he hadn't even known Walt had done more than mouthed off. What else had happened? ] So glad to hear you...aren't thinking on it. Seemed more to me that you haven't been leaving him alone when he asks you to.
[ But if it wasn't more clear than ever, Hank was sent here with a deck half full, and the realization has both embarrassed and irritated him. It doesn't remotely excuse Chilton borderline stalking Walt, but he's suddenly a lot more focused on the truth of what happened than getting Chilton to back away. Problem is he won't ask for the truth if it means throwing his brother-in-law under the bus, despite knowing Walt more or less just did the same to him. ]
