Mari is half way home when she realises she's forgotten the bread. It's such a silly little thing to forget that she almost continues on her way. But she was asked to do something, and so, she turns and heads right back into the marketplace, grumbling all the way.
Accounts, she thinks as she hands over a few of the coins she's made today for two loaves of breads, some leek, some lamb and some cured meat she's fairly sure is pork, I must remember this when I look over the business accounts. The problem with working outside of the Hour is the time one must spend; subtract property rent from earnings, subtract wages for assistants. It's tiring.
"I'm home," she calls into the house once she's back. I didn't kill anyone today, she wants to joke, but it's probably best to keep that one inside. Subtract more property rent. She puts her spoils from the market on the counter, reaches and strokes Rhys the cat absentmindedly as the great orange beast jumps up to her. Subtract cat from earnings. Subtract herself. Subtract one child. Subtract another adult. "You didn't eat without me, did you?" Whatever is left is profit.
