No one is quite sure what Vert does during her off-time. She tells anyone who ever asks what she does for a living, "I am a Goddess, of course. I take time to adventure purely for leisure's sake."
Even her followers, who revere her as Lady Green Heart, don't know what she does in between her bouts of adventuring. They simply accept that she's a Goddess doing Goddess things, whatever that entails.
Anyone that HAS made a point to observe her behaviour will notice that she makes her living mostly by converting people to the Church of Lady Green Heart and collecting tithes from her disciples. She spends any additional time window-shopping and socializing in taverns and inns over a cup of tea.
Her church has yet to establish an official cathedral within Rook, or even a temple, but it does seem to be gaining some traction. Evidently, word of Vert's excellent and honorable treatment of her followers and otherwise Goddess-like appearance and demeanor is attractive to those who are easily swayed.
Vert does not seem to be spending the tithes needlessly, however. Perhaps she is simply saving up funds to establish her church in the hopes of spreading her faith.
Note: (Vert will be alternating her days between using Profession to get herself Gold and using it to earn Influence, Goods, or Labor as needed. I will keep track of how much I have total since I'm trying to create a "Cult" organization.")

After settling down in the inn with the cost covered by Vert, Reinhold finds the room Vert is staying at and knocks on the door. Though her behaviors are a bit odd, Reinhold cannot help himself but taking a liking to the self-proclaimed goddess, she did help him in his time of need after all. Therefore he was determined to return her share of the reward from the encounter in the goblin cave, as he felt it would be quite unfair for her despite her apparent delusion.

Vert returns to the inn after spending some time in the central markets looking for a portable tea set. On her way back to her room, she finds Reinhold standing at her door seemingly waiting for a reply from the other side.
She had met the usually stern and deadpan warrior while talking with Ava in the Golden Plow. After offering to pay for his lodgings in the city in return for service to the "Church of Lady Green Heart", she got to see Reinhold's battle-training up close during a job to eradicate a goblin menace in a cave outside of a nearby village. She was rather impressed at his abilities and thus very pleased that she had such a capable warrior in service to her faith. After all, every Goddess deserves a righteous enforcer! Or at least, that's how she sees it.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Reinhold! Were you looking for me, by any chance? I was just out enjoying a stroll through the central markets. It's such a beautiful day after all."

Reinhold quickly turns toward the woman and hands her a bag of gold.
"Your earning for the adventure in the Goblin's cave. If you still insist that I keep it, then consider this my tithe for the month. Even a goddess need money for her church no?"

Vert seems slightly surprised at the notion, but gives a bright smile.
"Oh my, how generous. It would be a moral injustice for me to accept such a grand personal gift, but if it is your intention to donate to the Church of Lady Green Heart, I will graciously accept it. You have my sincere gratitude, Mr. Reinhold."
Vert gives Reinhold a noble bow and takes the pouch of coins, depositing it into a pocket in her dress.
"Now then, was there anything else you needed of me?"
