Bella was torn by the display of the amenities available at the Estate. On one hand, they were obscenely expensive by her reckoning, and staying here would drive her further into debt, and delay her return to the coven. On the other hand, she and her sisters survived in the forest by relying on each other, and she did not have the skills and resources to live off the land on her own. So for now, Bella decided that she would mull it over and come to a conclusion by the evening.

That led into other issues, such as where she would be getting the money. She wasn't particularly strong in the body, so manual labor would mostly just exhaust and weaken her. Her skills with herbs and magic weren't to be overlooked, but being a witch from the wilds, most people in Axel didn't even deign to speak to her, much less hire her to perform such skillful and sensitive work.

However, the centaur's offering of funds to begin an adventuring career was readily accepted. Bella eagerly took the forty eris, pocketing it away to use at her next opportunity. Even if all else failed and she adventuring wasn't the lucrative experience that she was imagining, she was still forty eris richer than she had been a minute ago.
