Recruiter Protocol for Pre-Existing Apps

About a month ago, a friend submit my materials to their firm in case a position opened up.

A week after my friend submitted my app internally, I started using a recruiter who has since gotten me a few interviews. My friend's firm is now inquiring about an interview. How does this work with the recruiter? Do I just tell them that I had a pre-existing application and that's that?

Curious because interviewing with either firm will require travel and I would like to schedule both firms' interviews at the same time. The firms will inevitably want to split costs and the recruiter will inevitably find out.

Not really sure what the question is. You presumably never agreed to apply to jobs exclusively with that recruiter. And you’re only “locked in” with a recruiter for 3 (I think) months if they submit you for a position.
