When Helga felt Godric adjust his hold on her, she smiled lightly something more friendly and in tune to her drunken state. Unable to resist she began to sway just a bit, moving her feet a little more extravagantly until they were both shifting side to side like some kind of comical dance. It was amusing to her and well she hoped he was getting a jovial kick out of it as well. They hadn't had too many chances to have a little fun over the last few weeks, work had been the focus and the school a priority over fun and games.
She laughed as he explained further about Salazar, trying and failing to imagine him as a copy of Godric in the fun and humor department. True though he seemed to walk with a great weight on his shoulders, just as many first born children did. Her own eldest brother had been serious in his studies and it showed when out of the lot of them he had the strongest healing magic and therefor took over their family clinic once they're parents stepped down. She never did actually ask if that was what he wanted, knowing because he had been put into that role it had given her the freedom to seek out what she wanted and make the life she made for herself. While she would never know that weight she did somewhat understand the weight of failure, she didn't want to fail or let others down and pushed so far to put others before herself even if at times she ran herself near exhaustion. Maybe if she could remember this tomorrow, she would better adjust how she thought of serious Salazar, or as Godric said, maybe the students coming to learn from him would help their friend warm up and be a little more cheerful out in the open.
"You lost your eyebrows to a dragon? What were you doing, tickling the poor thing while it was sleeping?" Helga questioned as the turned the corner at a fork in the corridor. At least though it seemed he had gotten them back or they had grown back more like it. "I thought you of all people would know not to go tickling a dragon, especially if it was asleep." She exhaled a sigh but it was clear from the small smirk like grin she was only teasing Godric. They had all done something foolish every now and then, ok, maybe not so much Rowena as it was hard to catch her best friend slipping up from her proper perfect behavior but there was still time to see that happen. Helga would have to be a bit more sober before she could figure out how to make it happen though.
