He's pretty sure he doesn't have to explain that to Malcolm--Neal has always had a very loose degree of concern when it comes to the people who lie to him and the ones who tell him the truth. He's forgiving of it, for the most part. And with some people--some groups--the lie is too expected to be a factor.
That's what he's told himself for the past year, anyway. The past two. It's not a betrayal if you were expecting it. It's how he's hidden that particular injury from himself.
