His reassurance did not help much; just a reminder of how foolish she had been. Letting her mouth run away with her. It did that every time she was excited, or nervous, or hungry, or ... well, there were a lot of times that her mouth ran away with her. So often that it was hard to classify every time why it happened so what was the point? She held in the sigh she was feeling, bending her head down to kiss Lora's head softly, just as the little girl bobbed to reach for the piece of bread that Merrick was now eating. Bouncing back, she biffed Gwen in the chin, making the mother's eyes water slightly from the pain.
She hissed a very nasty word that she had learned from her brother. In Celtic, of course, to protect her daughter's virgin ears but likely one that the Irishman knew. After all, Godric had learned it from Salazar, who hailed from the same island.
After a few moments, Gwen tested her jaw and, sensing that there was nothing broken - just a bit painful - she stood, swooping Lora up and onto her hip. "Thank you for breaking your fast with us, Sir Raine. I will be just a few moments actually. My room is just down the hall a bit. I will have her trussed up and ready to go in no time. I will meet you back here so you can properly break your fast." She curtsied, as best as she could with a baby on her hip. It would just have to do.
With that she fled the room to ready Lora for the day.
