Helga noticed that despite her attempts to be helpful in the situation it in fact seemed to do just the opposite as far as trying to ease Rowena and Salazar on the matter. She finished her wine in the time the two replied, the more it seemed like things had not gone as she hoped the more her shoulders droop and her cheerful mood faded bit by bit. They both had some good points it what was wrong about what happened and Salazar in particular with pointing out Rowena had just done what she and Godric were getting in trouble for doing. She hadn't wanted to make this a big deal, wanting to simply explain the situation in a way that didn't seem like anyone was going behind anyone else back but it seemed she hadn't managed to do that.
By the time everything was said and out in the open, Helga had refilled her goblet, half of which she had already drank and now was held in her hands as she glanced slightly down at it. Maybe it was her tired state, maybe it was the amount of wine in her system but after feeling her attempt to explain the situation she suddenly felt a bit bummed out. A feeling of guilt formed in her chest at the disappointment she had caused her friends and possibly causing some trouble for Merrik as well. Just after he had done something so amazing in the dining hall too, this is how she had repaid him. Helga exhaled a small but heavy sigh, had she any form of animal like ears they would have been hanging low to match her sudden mood so instead it was her shoulders that hung low and their lack of the usual present smile on her face as she turned her goblet around and around in her hands.
"Alright, no more hires or invitations without a full group consent. We are friends and more importantly a team, so we need equal say in things going forward. No more single projects, hires, or approvals without prior notice and discussion with the group" Helga said, glancing around the table at her seated friends. She didn't take note of the mild fuzziness of the background behind each of them, just that the room felt a little warmer than usual. Helga shifted a bit in her chair, brushing back a few strands of her hair that had fallen free to hang on her face. Thinking maybe it would cool her down she took a drink of wine, her mind not thinking clearly enough as it usually did that the wine was doing the exact opposite than she was assuming.
She normally wasn't one to get so deep into the wine, settling for just a drink or two above her limit because she didn't like to go beyond the limit if she could help it. It was a sight she didn't like to let others see her in, even her friends though she had a feeling they had to have seen it at least once. Helga got a little too emotional when she drank, grabbed by whatever was strongest and boosted nearly ten fold. Mostly it was just overly happy and cheerful like an overexcited two year old having their best day. She could never remember what happened during that time but sometimes she had a feeling something happened so she tended to try and stay within her limits. Not realizing her lack of sleep over the last few days would help boost the effects of the wine, she didn't think twice about it when she finished what was in her goblet and debated on whether or not to fill it again.
