If there was anything his father taught him, it was to ensure you make opportunities not take them. He said 'every moment in your life is one that you can bend to be prosperous. Look for openings where there are none and make your own.' Salem sat back and clasped his hands onto the table and looked Varis in the eyes. [Color=82ca9d]"While donations work well, as does my mothers business, you are correct in assuming that there must be more done for the sake of business. As you very well know, my father owns a large pharmaceutical company, and while I dont exactly approve of his methods...they do see results."[/color] Salem reached into his waistcoat pocket and pulled out a small, stout, cylindrical jar, no bigger than a compact. [Color=82ca9d]"I'm sure you've seen these around? Many people view it as a cure all for a large array of ailments. While it is my father's company and name on the product, it is [i]my[/i] invention. As I dont particularly care to be associated with him I allow him to take the fame while i take the profit from this particular product."[/color] Salem flashed the product so that the light would catch the golden lettering against the green background, showing the name [b]'Salem's Vapor Rub'[/b] a common household item that can be purchased for relatively cheap and whose vapors are said to help with most anything. He placed the product back into his waistcoat and scanned the room before looking back at Varis. [Color=82ca9d]"I do sell a few things on my own in order to help further, such as bath bombs, face scrubs, and things of that nature. Those are typically online orders that are made by me before being shipped out, ass it is my labor the only true cost is that of materials which are all organic and grown at the Spellman household making it relatively cheap to make. I have many more ideas for innovations, but first I must finish my learning at the academy that her royal highness so graciously invited to me to attend. There I can hone my affinity and thus further hone my craft to see more dreams become reality."[/color] Salem gave a polite nod at the princess as he mentioned her before looking back towards Varis. He may of seemed and sounded confident but in reality he wa unsure how his father dealt with this all the time, Salem wasnt sure how well his reply came off but hoped for the best as he gave Aaron a small smile out of habit as well as looking for reassurance.
