Astrid realized she had the right idea about not outing Godric on the events of earlier that day. While it seemed like it went over Merricks head it didn't over the intended target and he didn't react the way she assumed he would. Rather then get a bit flustered or fumbly, he turned to her with his eyes slightly narrowed and it made her heart skip in her chest but not in a good way. Was he mad at her for what she said? He could tease her about getting cleaned up after working in the garden but she couldn't return the tease back on the state she had come across him in? How was that fair? It seemed to go unnoticed by the third person in the room so there was no harm on the matter being questioned.
Her body tensed up a bit as her smile faded and she curled one of her hands into a fist as she took on a note of seriousness in her expression. Now that it wasn't the two of them alone was he behaving more to his position to keep up appearances. Even the tone of voice he had used to dismiss her had a ring of entitlement to it. Astrid should have expected him to have two faces and an ego to match his title, probably a good thing she hadn't given in to urges and jumped into his bed. Jerk was probably not as good in that department as she was imagining anyway, he wife could keep the jerk. It wasn't like she was flat out calling him out on what happened, just simple teasing. No worse then the kids now staying in the school did to one another. Fine, if he wanted to act like a spoiled two faced lord then she would treat him as such.
Astrid held on to the small bud of anger in her chest from his reaction, not wanting to get herself into trouble if it decided to burst to life. Her blue eyes flashed an icy tone as he didn't even wait for her to respond to his dismissal and turned away from her, his tone hinting further into his higher rank above her. "I'll take my leave then... my lord" she said, unable to hide the hint of ice on her tone as she said the last two words. She still planned on messing with him with her plan to give him the coin back but maybe with a bigger audience he would make a fool of himself when he reacted. At least give her something to hold against him to use later if this was going to be their interactions in the future. Turning, she walked away down the corridor without another word.
