Helga offered Merrick a smile and a nod as he took the coin pouch. As she had assumed, something off had happened to Godric and no doubt caused his early leave of the room. It didn't help it seemed Merrick knew what it was and hinted to her it was not the first time Godric had looked that way. It worried her to know something could upset him like that but she understood it came with the life of someone who had been through a battle or two and suffered the loss of a friend or comrade. Her late husband during the last few years of his life often had nightmares and because of that and their small children Helga had shifted to a very light sleeper, often waking up at the first notice of trouble and jumping into action to help calm them down. It was a sacrifice to her own sleep but one she would gladly make if it helped her loved ones find peace and sleep.
"I'm sure Rowena would appreciate the help with the candles, you would have a better eye at were the candles worked best to provide light but not disturb your hard work on the ceiling. I'm not sure Godric will remember where we had them before so a second pair of eyes would be best. Plus, I think she will be very surprised to see it and will want to offer you her praise and compliments as well" she said warmly.
She watched as he bowed politely, picked up the wine skin and took his leave after taking one last look at his masterpiece. Helga turned to look up at it too once he had gone, taking it in one last time before reminding herself there was still much to do. Picking up the tray of bread and her goblet of wine she took her leave of the room, pausing just in the corridor to gently close the door before making her way to the kitchens. No sense in letting the surprise out early in case a wandering student came by and peaked in. Better saved when they weren't expecting it later at the evening dinner feast.
