He's nothing if not honest. Or just can't really tell a complete lie, is maybe the more accurate way of looking at it.
"Your line of work...?" Do shopkeepers really have that problem with people being honest? That's rather strange, but he supposes it makes sense in the long run. He... wasn't terribly familiar with the business to begin with, so maybe it is a problem he's just not aware of. After all, lying your ass off was a good part of the job when it was needed in his former line of work.
But onto another thing entirely and he's letting out the softest of huffs and tilting that hat to try and hide the red crawling to his cheeks again. He's... not entirely sure if he's joking or not, but it does make him feel absolutely ridiculous for saying all of that.
"I'll... keep that in mind, I suppose. But eventually these sorts of things get out into the open whether you wish them to or not."
