Gwen rushed to her room, talking to Lora about nonsense and silliness about how Merrick had been so kind to the little girl. How he was a true gentleman and would make someone a very good daddy someday.
True to her word, she was rather quick at this part - changing the infant's clout, then pulled on the simply, doe-hide dress Gwen had made with her own two hands. It was more easily cleaned than cloth was and with the house elf having to watch after two children so differently aged, the easier things were, the better it might be overall for her. While she doubted any of the house elfs would leave Helga, as much as they adored her, no reason to test their patience more than necessary!
Bundling Lora into a tight wraps to keep her warm, Gwen delivered the baby to the waiting hands of Rauble. Then she rushed back to the staff room, a bit out of breath but ready to go if Merrick was finished with his breakfast. While it was a bit earlier than she needed to go (judging by the placement of the sun), Gwen didn't mind taking the scenic route. When she'd opened the window earlier, it had felt like the most beautiful day with little wind. The sun had been shining and felt warm when she'd stuck her hand out. Perfect and unusual for the normally cloudy and rainy Scot lands.
Yes, today was definitely a good day for a long walk to hopefully clear her head and get her focused on her tasks. "I hope I didn't take too long," she said breathlessly, breezing into the room and closing the door behind her - though why that was, she wasn't so certain. After all, they should go...but if he wasn't finished with breaking his fast, it wouldn't be fair to rush him.
