As with agreeing to never speak of the time that House was a little boy, Rhys just... agrees. No fuss, no fight. It's strange and feels almost unnatural in a way. There should be more of... something. A part of him wants to ask if it really is that easy to just forget about what happened for Rhys, but he knows the answer is very likely 'yes.' The guy's been with more people than he could probably count off easily. And House knows he is neither a looker, nor some sex god. Better to just not set himself up for the wounded pride.
