Godric nodded when she used the hammer metaphorically. A perfect example. He had thought the child metaphor would sit more easily with a young woman who had likely had to deal with one or two in their time. A hammer though, that was another interesting aspect - she kept throwing those at him and it only made him more determined to get to know this young woman. All the students, really. Everyone had their own stories. To a knight sitting bored around a campfire, stories were golden actually and while he thought his days in the field were over, one never knew where they would find themselves.
Sir Raine might. Maybe Godric should ask him about what the stars had to say about it. Frankly, he'd been a little too nervous to ask, afraid of what the signs might say about it all.
Another time. For now, he needed to focus on this moment.
The free concept was going to be a hard one for a lot of people to accept, of course. And it wasn't going to be an easy task, outfitting each student with what they needed to attend class. However, the four of them were resolved that everyone should learn, no matter their station and thus, if they needed to pay for it then so be it.
Seeing the nervous look that she gave the wand, he quickly stored it away again, picking his dinner back up to finish the last of it. Rhiannon had already finished her own and was looking at his own rather craftily. He shook his head at the dog, taking another big bite as though to stake his claim on the food.
"It is a long journey to where I am taking you. There is always the chance that we could stop occasionally along the way and see if there is anyone who needs help for a little pay. By the time we reach the Scot lands, you might very well have enough for the wand if we're careful." He reasoned. "And if not, there will still be at least another month before school actually begins so perhaps you could take a position somewhere in the trading post to earn what you need - if you so insist." He reasoned.
"As for your horse, there are stables at the school. As everyone must have a way to get there, I doubt yours will be the only one in residence. As one who shares a bond with a close animal companion, I understand the hesitance to let go of that relationship. Of course, I would never suggest the two of you be parted for too long."
