Just like their aging bookkeeper, Kideme remained completely silent. Not to put Tiatsu on the spot by himself or even because she had nothing to say, she always had something to say, but because this was an invested learning experience for her as well. Even if it was later rather than sooner, she would one day be sitting where Mame sat now. So she too was keeping quiet to take in as much as she could for his sake and her own. When Tiatsu gave her the silent chide, she gave him a thumbs up with her hand beneath the table. Mame would have already dismissed him and be alot less talkative if she wasn't keen on his proposal.

"Of course." Was just about all her mother would say in response to staffing and remodeling. However, for what little she said with words, the nods and side glances she gave to the bookkeeper were far more indicative of what she thought. During his time to think, the sound of quill scratching against rice parchment filled the silence.

His mention of having Chinatsu running the show caused Hoshiko to nod more pointedly with more inclined. "That can be arranged." His reasoning was sound and it put her at ease that he needed no coaxing to think like a salesman. It wasn't long before the wooden ticks of an abacus could be heard while the bookkeeper made some quick calculations and jotted down some numbers. He was just about to hand her the ledger when Tiatsu dropped the ultimate bomb on them. They both froze mid gesture, but while the bookkeeper reached for the money to begin counting, Hoshiko put the book down, taking a moment to whisper in his ear and he in turn did the same.

Facing Tiatsu now, she almost half smiled again. Do you sense another money aficionado?

"I am suddenly reminded of a romantic haiku that details the joy of bathing in gold. Now then. Our builders will need to get together and discuss some things. They shall be in touch with you soon if we do not reach out to you first."

With a slight bow of her head, her eyes scanned over Tiatsu, to Kideme before promptly turning her full attention to their bookkeeper.

If Tiatsu hadn't risen by then, Kideme tugged at the back of his sleeve to pull him along. On their way down to the second floor, Kideme clapped a few times. "Welcome to the Madhouse!"
