"Oh, it's definitely an improvement on the ceiling we had. This is completely...just fascinating. I'm just worried that people will be so distracted looking at the stars that they'll forget to eat! It's just...eye catching and wondrous, seeing the heavens so clearly," Godric professed, looking from the starry sky back to his friend.
It was then that Nurse Gudrun's words resonated with him about making a good impression; that slight jab at him for this morning. His eyes narrowed on her for a moment. The last thing he needed was her running off and telling tales to the others. While they weren't false tales, that didn't mean he wanted them circulating about his friends that he was risking his reputation the night before their opening day.
But what could he do to convince her to keep her mouth shut? He didn't exactly know her all that well. Technically, he'd bribed her with the coin but obviously if that didn't keep her from mentioning it in front of Merrick, it likely wouldn't keep her from telling the others. He should have given her more - made it clear that this was a matter that needed to stay between them lest it get him into trouble. Salazar would likely guess but he couldn't stand to have the disappointed looks on Helga and Rowena's faces directed at him.
Well, the simple fact was, there was nothing he could say. He would just have to hope it all work out and deal with the consequences when they came. Wouldn't be the first time and, knowing his history, it wouldn't be the last. "Yes, I suppose you should then." Godric said in dismissal, his attention returning to the sky above. "See you at supper." With that, he gave his attention back to Merrick and the newest addition to the castle.
"So what brought this about?"
