Amelia laughs softly at Verity's comment. "Only the richest people do it, and it's definitely not very common, but it does happen from time to time. Usually, though, the fanciest anyone will get with their buttons is pearl or carved sea shells. As for me? I prefer wood buttons. They can be painted or dyed a variety of colors and are relatively inexpensive."

The fact that she cares about how expensive or not expensive anything is could be considered comical if Verity knew anything about Amelia's spending habits back home. Then again, she's been rather frugal and insistent on haggling for lower prices on almost everything here in the Nexus, so maybe it's not as strange as Amelia might think?
