Kate shook her head in clear exasperation at the "hot" comment, but looked up nervously at Tink and said, "I suppose there [i]isn't[/i] anything else that he can do, Tink." She hesitated, but then continued, "We should tell them, like he said. If even Juliano doesn't care, then I doubt that Salem or the Paladin would hold it against us, either. It's our best option. Better to come clean with them than have someone use this against us in the future. Worst case scenario, they'll...reassign us. Away from each other. And as much as I'd hate that, it's better than them finding out some other way and exiling us."
