"Good, then that makes two of us who aren't nosy even if others consider us so." Or - maybe - Claude's telling on himself more here than anything else with that joke and less attempting to also pin that dubious title on Inej along with it on himself. For his own reasons, keeping track of all of that has proven rather useful.

"Only specific numbers, but yes." Just in case he made it sound like he had any qualifications there, since - "I had to balance various ledgers back at home to keep day to day operations going, though those were far more oriented towards supplies, destinations, and the like than anything business proper. Some of it's translated alright enough, fortunately."

At Inej's smile it's difficult to not smile right on back, so that's what Claude does. "If you also like to meet people around Cadens, the shop we're headed to is a good place to do it. There's a few other merchants who stop in to chat also on a fairly set schedule, and most of them are rather free in what they share."
