Ro looked a little sour as Salazar paid her what she thought might be a compliment and then hurried away before anyone could stop him. Just like him to run after not getting his way. He was more spoiled than she was as far as Rowena was concerned. Before she could make a snide comment of her own, Helga slipped from her chair which brought her partially out of her own in concern.
Though her best friend seemed to right herself rather quickly, she wondered just how many goblets she was in, echoing Godric's thoughts on the matter. Perhaps they had taken things on far too serious a spin for the first night. It was just difficult to rein in the ideas at times though she was reluctant to say so.
When Godric turned things back to her, acknowledging her idea as being a good one she preened a bit, offering him a confident smile. She took his words in though she slightly disagreed. If they were thinking of doing a venture this big, why not think globally? It's not like the known world was huge or anything. Why settle for teaching a handful of isles? But she relented for now. Perhaps there was some wisdom to starting small but expanding the venture later.
Reaching over to gently pat her dear friend's hand, her smile softened considerably. "Yes, he's right Helga dearest," she said in agreement with Godric. "Salazar is a big boy and he will be fine tomorrow. Alas, you will be hurting though I fear with as much wine as you've imbibed."
Rowena laughed lightly and rubbed the back of Helga's hand softly. "Come now, let us take our final sips before heading off to bed," she said, sounding more like the motherly figure that her friend was than herself. But let it not be said that Rowena was a force of will when she set that brilliant mind to it. "I'll stop off with our nurse for an elixir to alleviate some of the discomforts you'll be experiencing in a few hours. That way you too will be right as rain."
With that said, she rose gracefully and looked toward Godric. "Sir Gryffindor, would you do us the honor of escorting us to our chambers?" she asked politely, though her meaning was clear. She wasn't sure she would be enough to get the very drunk Hufflepuff founder safely to her rooms.
