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

When Helga mentioned Merrick already writing to Maximus, the implication being that the man had already been invited to the school, Godric watched a few emotions play out on Salazar's face. While he seemed quite in favor of the Raine's supporting the school, for Merrick to go over their heads and make an offer was, indeed, a little forward. Something that Salazar would not appreciate, considering how protective he was of the school, though hardly any more protective than the other three were. This was their life's work - their reputations, fortunes, livelihoods were depending on success so any threat or boon to the endeavor concerned them greatly.

Luckily, Helga attempted to reassure with her mothering-type of logic, in comparison to Rowena's logic which came from a place of the mind, logistics over heart. It's what made them an excellent pairing, if anyone were to ask Godric's opinion on the matter (which they usually didn't). However, that was just his opinion.

"Ah yes! Groundskeeper might be just the place. Nothing like some fresh air and green space to restore a man's mind and heart. Reconnect with the world that bore you!" Godric insisted. "Perhaps a bit of hunting and supervising the farm areas. After all, he's an eldest son of man with a great deal of land. He was born to do exactly that. While none of us mind supervising, just one less thing on our plates would be a blessing, as far as I'm concerned.

"But when we meet him, more will come out - his condition and abilities, let it all unfold naturally without a high pressure interview like we did with the others."
