Before she could respond, Godric set down the gold coin and took is slightly awkward and bumbling leave. Again she found his action cute and resisted physically reacting as he left as much as she wanted to. It was probably for the best he took a quick leave anyway as she was far too tempted to point out and potentially poke further at her ego that she had used the same treatment on her twelve year old brother when he cut his arm and he felt nothing stronger then a rough tickle.
She exhaled a huff, crossing her arms to look towards the door he had exited from just moments ago. A handful and a half her mind thought but he wasn't the first man she had treated to be hesitant to accept her care. Years on the sea and in the towns they had lived in had given her experiences of all kinds when dealing with men, stubborn and ego fueled or not. Godric was the same though he didn't give off the same level as many of her past patients did and she certainly had no issue in mending them up and sending them on their way quickly and quietly. So why did the room suddenly feel larger, emptier and a little colder now that he was gone from the room? Did he have such a presence that the room had not only shrunken but warmed up? The corridors never felt like this when they had passed one another in previous days so why suddenly now. She exhaled another sigh as she shook her head and lowered her arms back to her side. She knew why but she wasn't going to accept it, the reasons or facts simply didn't match and she wasn't going to just blindly accept. Nope, no way. Her mind and everything it was trying to make her believe could stop because it wasn't going to happen. She was here for work not romantic fairytales, she had siblings depending on her and couldn't detour from making sure they were well cared and provided for not to be swept off her feet by the handsome rugged looking man she was treating injuries for after catching him unsuccessfully searching for his own remedy needs.
Astrid turned to the cart, deciding she would get started on her clean up when the coin he had left behind caught her attention. She picked it up, turning it over as she held it a little higher in the air. She hadn't expected him to pay her for her services, she was here for the school and to help both the students as well as the staff, him included and she was already being paid a fare wage for her work here. There was also to pay for what she assumed was the two broken potions and the ones she had given him but being fully honest the galleon was far too much to cover the cost of some inexpensive potions. She glanced towards the door then back down at the coin in her hand as she lowered her hand down. An idea came to her mind, helped by it in fact thanks to bringing up one or two memories of their recent exchange. She would see if she had time for it before it was too late but honestly it would be something he would least expect. With a mild smirk she flicked the coin into the air, caught it and tucked it into her pocket. Taking the cart, she pushed it towards the makeshift sink to get started on cleaning up and getting things put back into order.
