"It'd be way more likely to end in trouble if I did it," Sparta pointed out dryly. "I mean, I'd be great at it; I could sell rice to a rice farmer, but that doesn't mean he'd appreciate it after the fact. Sketchy kid slash potentially wanted criminal wandering around selling dragon scales? Not a good look."
It really wasn't Sparta's problem, he reasoned, if the dragon wandered off and got itself killed by a knight. Or started a war on accident. Or burned down Crithe because it thought that you could do crime if it was to bad people. Or generally terrorized the countryside. Or if Crithe wound up with a dragon king to match Aeris', and then that started a massive dragon war because the king of Aeris already hated Crithe and oh, god, wait, this was starting to sound like responsibility actually. It was an alien and particularly horrifying sensation, and Sparta did not care for it one bit.
"How much... how much gold do you even need to transform, anyway?" Sparta asked, trying to seem disinterested and not like he was suddenly deeply concerned about potential dragon murders (both of the dragon and by the dragon). "Is it like, a lot?" Dragon scales surely had both magical properties and inherent magic, but you'd have to be a wizard to make use of that. Sparta didn't know any wizards, or where you found them. It's not like they were centrally located. Last he'd heard, they still operated on an apprentice system in Crithe. Maybe... maybe knights? Or... blacksmiths? Could he make jewelry? Did he still remember how to make jewelry? How much did one dragon even shed?
