"I think you are going to be an excellent role model," Gwen reassured him, gently squeezing his arm with her hand. "Godric would not have hired you if he did not think you would serve well in that capacity for all of the students you are going to be teaching." She said, her tone making it quite clear that she would brook no argument on this. "After all, how do you learn from someone you cannot respect or admire even a little?"
It was probably why she had never learned anything from Gifford, who had only treated her as a burden to bear. Godric, on the other hand, had always been doting and attentive when he'd had the opportunity to be around her. Honestly, if anyone was in a good position to reassure Merrick, it was her as (from the sounds of things) it sounded like she and Moira Raine had a great deal in common.
Just thinking it made Gwen eager to meet Merrick's sister, whenever it happened.
Unfortunately, they arrived at their destination. She wanted to frown, knowing that their little walk and time together was over now. But it had to happen eventually or the school day could never start. Of course, now began the worries that she knew her brother and the others were now facing.
What if no one ended up being interested in attending school? What if no one came and this work was for nothing? Gwen knew of one student in the village thus far but that was all she knew. While she knew that they could all teach one student - it was better than nothing - it would still be a bit disappointing if that was all this work ever amounted to.
Worriedly, she looked back over her shoulder towards the castle, hoping that her fears would be unfounded and that by the time she returned, the castle would be bustling with students.
