Wealth is a fluid concept; Where most people consider wealth in form of liquid assets, and while some instead lean toward intellect when defining such a concept, in the practical sense wealth is defined as connections and influence by some people, and if the unreliable, inaccurate and often distorted documentation of the past people tend to call "history" is of any indication, most notable and most successful of individuals have been those with the most influence, not those with the highest intellect or the fattest pockets, and with influence having one of the vaguest descriptions among the various qualities one can find in a social structure, there are very few with the talent of efficiently and effectively gaining influence where needed, and putting it to use when needed.
In the overcrowded universe of the modern age human, with too many people in too many places doing too many things, and each and every single one of them too busy with their own thing to notice anything or anyone else, connections prove to be harder to make, but once made, more notable and more beneficial than they could've ever been in the old days, and while some connections are a result of carefully planned and flawlessly executed chain of actions, others are mere coincidences, or as some would put it - Just a piece of luck. Now, if a couple of like-minded individuals happen to have the luck of making a connection when neither needs anything from the other, it offers both of them a healthy opportunity to make use of eachother's talents and resources for their own personal agenda at a later point.
When the opportunity presented itself, Jessica Snow was the first to come to mind. Even though easily mistakable for a socially-impaired persona at first glance, those that had given her life-style a more careful look were all of the opinion that she was a resourceful individual, and aerelm was no exception. One thing he knew for sure was that putting her in the right environment and offering her the right assets could be considered a worthwhile investment of one's wealth, and so he knew when it was time to kill some time around a design table, it was time to get back in touch with the notorious Ms. Snow.
