She’s upset that the alchemist made gold himself (because he’s an alchemist) rather than spending money on it. It’s a play on people who don’t like synthetic diamonds because you didn’t pay an arm and a leg for it.
They are very real, I’m afraid. There are people in transactional relationships where “love” is measured in how much you spend on each other. Money can do strange things to people.
I…was talking about a specific type of couple, not that they’re all like that. Are you trying to pick a fight? It feels like you are, but I honestly can’t tell what about.
He meant he made gold, for her, not that he turned her into gold lol. It confused me at first too.
She was golden all along.
I’m not so certain about that, otherwise what is the joke? She doesn’t like gold so she left

Yes, its not that good of a joke. How could she complain if she was turned into gold?
I think the joke is that alchemists believe they could turn lead into gold and a primary ingredient was urine.
In fact, a lot of Alchemy involved using piss for things.
