It won't vex him if she's insistent on calling him something other than his name alone, but he certainly doesn't need that level of respect when it's not as though he ever outranked her.

"Handling the cooking here is the primary duty I've chosen for myself," he adds, by way of explanation. "It's much too troublesome for so many of us to go out and barter for every meal, you know?"
