You can just tell him I'm not embarrassed or anything and if he wants to just pretend it never happened, that's easy enough for me.

But - I'll pass on the message.

no subject
[He blinks at the question, then shrugs a shoulder.]
I might.
no subject

It's obviously up to you two to decide how you wanna deal with it.

Mm. No, I trust you, Molly. I won't butt in - but I figure White would want to know too. If you're cool just telling him, then that works for me.
