Iris looked at him and smiled when he said that she seemed like an older sister, "I think you mean that I seem older. I don't see how my order of birth changes that much... I guess, I just had to grow up faster than some people."
When he pulled out another sheet named budgets, she took it without asking. She brought her thumb to her mouth as she looked it over, nibbling on her nail. She looked at it for a while then nodded, "Well, that's why you keep the hunting to only occasional and only getting what you need...You could probably send out an hunting party to go further as well... The prey they catch could be dried and stored for later," She pursed her lips, "You know... If we were to properly skin our catches, we could probably sell those and the income could go towards the budget of a farm. Although, it doesn't have to be the size of a farm... Just a small community garden. You work and you can take."
She took a deep breath when he asked her where it was that she learnt all of this. She gave him a sad smile before casting her eyes down again, "My father... We it was just the four of us we were on a pretty tight budget. He would have to do stuff like this all the time and I would always help him... Father-Daughter bonding," She shrugged,"I've always been good at numbers and planning."
She put the paper down and looked at him, "If you need anymore help with this kind of stuff... in the future... My door's always open," She made a face, "Funny thing coming from a girl currently locked out of her house... You know what I mean."

Leopold was writing away, he had felt a moment of inspiration for the letters to the other Lords. He was in the midst of writing the first when Ban hopped off his desk and moved to the door to meow. Having been unaware of the previous knock, he thought that the cat was wanting to return to his mistress when he heard the very woman speak from the other side of the door. He laughed a little and nodded, despite her not being able to see him, "Yes, yes, come in."
He dipped his quill in his ink as he stared at his page as the woman came in, "My chat with you seems to have brought up some ideas for my letters," He looked up at her and gave her a lopsided smile, "What is it that I can do for you, Mis- Crimson."
