"It shouldn't have an impact," Sebastian says. "But it would be more advantageous for gathering information, I suppose, if we don't air out such things unless asked and if we covered more ground separately."

That said, he has set a certain professional standard. If she works somewhere without him to supervise - somewhere where her unique skillset isn't at all needed - then he does have some reservations about her ability to housekeep without either burning the place down, drowning it in suds, or somehow a combination of the two. Mey-Rin has a certain remarkable creativity in getting herself in all sorts of trouble with common household tasks.

Sebastian looks thoughtful, pursing his lips. "Of course, we can cross that bridge when we get there. Before you find a Dominant, I heavily advise you to educate yourself on the use of the marvelous communication device you were likely given."

Of course, he would be happy to show her how to use it. Mostly to make sure she doesn't break it somehow if she gets her glasses smudged.
