Godric chuckled. "Well, I don't have to do it all that often. Usually, I leave that sort of business to you and Rowena. Heavens knows Salazar hasn't a maternal bone in his body. However, from the looks of some of my smaller students, I'll need to work on it, for their sake.
"Now, why don't you take a seat while I try to figure out how many candles we're going to need to order? For a room this size, it will take quite a few and yet, we don't want to overwhelm the ceiling so it'll take away from the stars. Can't have it too dark to see though. Some of these corners can cast tall shadows and I know how important it is to you for this room to be comfortable and welcoming." Hopefully she appreciated that he was trying to be a more tender soul when it came to the matter. It wasn't exactly a natural emotion for a knight. Usually, tough love was their best guide but he'd already been lectured how not all of his students would react so well to such treatment.
And his time with escorting Kimberly north to Scotland had given him experience about exactly how well that would go over with some of the more gentler souls he would be entrusted with.
Making sure that Helga did, in fact, take a seat on one of the long benches, Godric began to walk the length of the aisle. Slowly, he re-lit and levitated candles to the right height over one table to figure out how many would be necessary for five of the long trestle tables set up in the Great Hall.
Hopefully Merrick wouldn't take too long to fetch the bread for her so they could all get on with what they needed to do before dinner.
