"Hmn." Hattie isn't nearly as effected by Eponine's secret as she might have expected, "Well it will not be a word that you shall be using in this house. You shall speak and write properly."

To the mention of Byakuya, Hattie suddenly slams her hand upon the table with such impact that the glass and fruit bowl upon it rattles. There's perhaps half a minute of silence, then she replies, "I am in trouble. It is none of your business nor your problem; focus on your own problems."

And with that she takes the pad again. It.. Is better, and she nods in approval. "I will teach you better. As a maid, you will need to leave notes or take care of inventory. Mister Gold works in a pawn shop, does he not? That applies for your work there as well."

".. And Byakuya did not say it was charming." is there a hint of jealousy there?
