It's a Hit...Sorta (Founders)

Rowena's delicately sculpted brow rose slightly as Salazar seemed oblivious as to why candles had been used. It wasn't like him to not notice fine details and where else would all of those candles floating in the Great Hall have come from but their stores? She turned her pale gaze on her best friend however when she said she was paying completely out of her own pocket.

While she approved of keeping Godric from spending more money, it should be shouldered by all of them, not just Helga. She clicked her tongue at the woman and shook her head. "Helga, you shouldn't think to do everything by yourself, just as Godric shouldn't either," she chided with a surprising softness that she held for her closest friend. "I wouldn't have minded pitching in for something we obviously will be needing."

The witty woman looked over at Salazar, wondering if he agreed with that statement. He was also against Godric spending more funds given how horribly his brother treated him because of it, thus would have likely done the same thing as Helga, insisting on paying for it out of his own fortune. "Things like this are bound to come up from time to time and I would prefer to deal with it as a group if possible," she stated firmly. They were supposed to be a united front and they needed to remember that.
