If he didn't say anything now, then he wouldn't have to see Shannon's face when he found out. On the other hand, when he did find out, or remember (or perhaps he did now, and was just playing dumb), then it would be obvious Alcuin had left things out.
"And they were rather fixated on the fact that I'd been a prostitute." He was glad he still had wine. He drank.
