Hm. Well, household finances are quite complicated, and my expertise in that area may be a bit specialized? But some of the basics, certainly... It is little more than basic accounting at its core. [ He says, as if that's simple? ] Cooking though, that I can certainly share my knowledge on quite easily. If you approach it as an objective task of combining flavor and texture, it truly opens up the possibilities for what you are able to create at a moment's notice, in my experience.

[ And without missing a beat at all, he switches to the topic of assassinations like it's just as inane as accounting and cooking... ]

The young master essentially knew, but I was not to wake him if they were intruding at night... Though I do not think that is keeping it from him, exactly. He did not exactly care beyond knowing who sent any would be assassins, so I did not tell him of most of them as a result. It was a common enough occurrence.
