"You are welcome, though I really do not believe I deserve your thanks," Gwen sighed. "You would have eventually come to the conclusion yourself once you'd seen the dull ceiling. The room is grand but it just needed something a little special and this will be it! A tremendous gift from a talented young man," she insisted, adding a sincere smile, glad that everything had worked out.
She wanted to argue with him about waiting until after lunch to perform the spell. It wasn't as though his presence was necessary in her eyes, though (truth be told) it was rather desired. Still, Gwen could not be selfish. He had responsibilities around the school.
Unfortunately, from the sounds of things, it had been her brother that had likely sent him and if it was one thing knights were, it was faithful to each other. If Merrick had give his word to escort her, he would follow her all the way down there - whether she took his arm or not. It was simply the way things worked. While it was a great boon to have him along, though it just seemed a little irritating if he felt he was honor bound to do so because her brother had taken advantage of their friendship and requested it.
Men...so pesky. They could be worse than pixies sometimes, honestly!
Knowing that there likely wasn't a great deal of time for them to sit here and discuss the matter, Gwen finally just took his arm. "If you are going to escort me, then we had best go. I do not want to be late for our first date...day." Gwen nearly swore at the slip. Truly, she had meant to say day! Honest!
