"Potions, hm...quite lucrative indeed." A fairly easy and common way of getting money, really. It certainly wouldn't be too difficult if rules followed the same way alchemy happened in the game. Still...she lacked any actual alchemical skill herself, and didn't fancy learning truth be told. It'd be a lot of work, trial and error...haaa, she didn't mind hard work but she really didn't want [i]more[/i] work. Still, maybe she could sponsor someone -

"Ah." Cervantes hit the nail right on the head. "How rude. I would like to inform you lord Reginald and the Von Afah family reward their maids with quite adequate pay." She'd respond. Well, she certainly liked getting paid more, but there was no need to start saying that the Von Afah family went around paying their maids barely enough to live on. "Still...mhm, you're not incorrect. I find myself needing quite a lot of money for certain personal reasons I am not at liberty to divulge." Mella's expression remained neutral and unreadable as she'd bow lightly. "Even if I were to invest in an inventor, that requires some form of capital to start with...haaa..." her unreadable expression shifted just slightly to one of mild annoyance. "Everything always comes back to money, doesn't it? Needing more to even get more...maybe I should just commit embezzlement or tax evasion and move Von Afah's funds to some island out of the country..."

Her voice trailed off for a few moments before she'd cough, shaking her head.

"...apologies, I should finish the shopping before lord Reginald starts wondering where I've gone."
