Richter<br/><br/>Seeing his displeasure made her pause like a bunny within range of a fox.  Decades had taught her to tread carefully not to upset those of the Camarilla, and if she didn't at least partly believe herself to be inferior, she sure had practice at faking it.  "I'm sorry," she said gently, her eyes slipping down.  "I didn't realize this would be a financial thing.  Mostly I just wanted to apologize if I upset you about Dwyer."<br/><br/>She listened as he explained his abilities, and considered each.  Will and practice had kept her body from falling into a state of atrophy, and while warding could certainly be useful if werewolves were in the area, it'd no doubt make her a target as well to have her place so guarded.  If werewolves really were human people at times, some of them might even frequent her club, oblivious to her nature.<br/><br/>His words of interest for the financial situation encouraged her to continue once he was done.  "Well, part of the big trick is investment," she explained.  "You probably already know all of this," she added reflexively as if to stoke the egos of various other Kindred to who she'd spoken, "but you find yourself a niche, somewhere where people want to keep spending money.  Consider how long we live, and a few decades of studious effort gets you more than enough of a nest egg to further invest and leave monetary worries by the wayside."<br/><br/>She hoped she wasn't offending him.  It was hard to tell how much he already knew, but in her experience, those who understood the value of knowledge didn't much mind hearing the repetition of things they already knew if it contained matters they did not.  "I know a couple people who have simply ghouled an entrepreneur and provided enough of a nest egg to start their business, then rode that to acquiring a great deal of wealth without it being directly tied to them.  I don't know if that's your style, though."<br/><br/>Just in case, though, she decided to change topics.  "As far as hair growth, I'm sure you'd find quite a few Kindred who would adore the chance to have their hair keep growing.  I was lucky enough to get a chance to get a proper makeover in advance, but Angelique would probably sing your praises, along with any of her childer.  Most Toreador at all, really."  She leaned forward a little.  "Have you considered approaching them, or would you like help with that?"<br/><br/>It occurred to her a little too late that one of them might want to keep him on indefinitely, and his thoughts of money would vanish regardless.  "I'd just make sure that it only affects hair on the head, though, if you can."
