Godric gave them both a chance to speak, nodding as Astrid babbled a little about the greenhouses that were well in hand, as far as he knew. Helga liked to keep a tight hand on things when they concerned her. Those greenhouses, while shared by both Sal and Helga, were still mostly her domain. To hear that someone else was being allowed in there just to supervise was a surprise and it was certainly the first he was hearing about it.
Hopefully Helga had sent her in there and she wasn't just going in to take for her own medical stores. While eventually, they would grow all of their own ingredients here and be self-sufficient, they weren't quite that far along yet.
However, he wasn't going to stand here and accuse the girl. He would be mentioning it to Helga later though, just to be on the safe side. And if there was a problem, he would let Rowena and Helga deal with it. Seemed a fair division of labor. He and Salazar oversaw the male teachers and the ladies tended to the female staff so there could be no accusation of sexist behavior.
"Well, I suppose that you had best get on with it. Supper should be starting soon and we should all be cleaned up and presentable." Then he realized what he had said. "Not that you're not presentable. I just meant if you were heading out to the greenhouse. Because, you know, there's dirt and everything. And we want to show these students a good first impression!" He backed away from her another step but then the view of the ceiling of the Great Hall caught his eye, both of which widened in surprise.
Godric moved around Astrid, moving into the Great Hall and looked up. He strode up between the two middle tables, looking at the stars above. For a moment, he was in awe and then he came back to himself. "Alright, which of you is going to have to explain this to Helga?" He asked. "Because it's bloody brilliant but this is her space and we're not allowed to change anything without her approval.
"Granted, I'll go with you and tell her how amazing it looks but this is her room and we have to respect that. Still..." His eyes went back up to study all the constellations shining so clearly.
