Gwen had absolutely no issue with standing back and letting the other talk around her. She was rather used to it actually. And really, it hadn't been concerning her anyway. Her purpose there was to give support to Sir Raine as he had seemed a bit nervous about broaching the topic with anyone other than her.
As she had expected, Helga agreed to the enchantment. There was no reason not to, really. After all, it was a brilliant idea that he had had and the students deserved the best possible atmosphere - something to draw them back time and time again. What better way than to give them the night sky without the cold, bracing temperatures that the Scot lands were known for? And to have it while they ate...
Gwen said a quick farewell to Helga as she departed, turned her head towards Merrick with a smile. Once the pear closed behind Helga and they were truly alone in the hallway, it turned into a playful smirk. "Ah see? And you were so worried." She teased gently. "But you should know by now - the brilliant more easily see and accept the brilliance in others. Now you have a task to do and I should leave you to it." She gently pulled her arm from his hold, knowing that this spell might be rather intensive on such a large canvas. He would likely need time to prepare and then cast it. To have it done by the feast this evening, he would likely need to focus all of his efforts on this instead of escorting her down to the trading post.
A little sad but this was important, of course. And she was perfectly capable of defending herself with the dirk that was hidden up the sleeve of the opposite arm which he had held. While her defensive magic was miserable, Gwen was more than talented enough with a dagger to make up for the fact.
