"Tis quite alrigh', Lady 'ufflepuff," he said with a slight bow in return. "It jus' took me by surprise tis all." His face broke into a smile, one of relief that she hadn't seemed bothered by their interruption. He was glad Gwen was with him otherwise he might not have had the nerve to do such a thing and now here he was, getting to show his skills and something he loved with the rest of the school at large instead of just in his classroom.
"Aye? Truly?" he asked, almost in shock that she would allow him the opportunity so soon without a word from the others. He straightened up slightly to his full six feet of height, chest feeling like it was going to burst with pride. "I will try nae te let ye down m'lady."
Merrick shot another look at Gwen unable to contain the pure joy radiating from him. Not only would she get to see it, but she'd get to see it in such a grand way. It would be better suited to the Hall than the tower itself. "Thank ye fer yer time. I be sure tha' ye be busy seein' te e'erythin'," he bowed once more. Though it was likely a little more formal than Helga wanted, his training dictated that at first at least until he stood corrected.
