Exactly. Actually crossing isn't hard at all, you literally just have to walk through the nexus. But first you have to find a nexus, and know what it is you're looking at. (Or not see it.)

How Meiling came to encounter such a thing without realizing it will be clearer once the mini covering those events is out.

It's not so much that they got paid as how that rubbed Remilia the wrong way, and she's the first to admit that she may be misreading the situation based on her own somewhat more modern sensibilities. After all, the 1200s were a long time ago, and a lot of western Europe was a howling wilderness in those days.

Still, reading about it made her slightly uneasy, because it made plain to her how much about that part of her father's life, and the world in which he lived it, she knew nothing about.
