Astrid was taken aback by his thanks, not the actual words but the feeling embracing them and then he had actually bowed a little towards her. She was thankful a moment later when he turned away because for a brief moment a hint of color tinted on her cheeks. "Most women are too weak willed to grasp at the power they have inside them, giving in and giving up too early without even trying. Idiots. Why just stand there and let someone coming to your rescue take an unfair hit to the back of the head during a fight. It was the least I could have done for you after coming to my rescue was to protect your blind side from a backhanded attack like that" she said in a soft mutter, not really sure he had heard her. Women were too soft and weak willed, lacking a backbone but maybe that was thinking a bit to forward of her. Learning to at least defend yourself was something she had learned at a young age, both a magical and physical. She made a point to make sure, insist actually, that her siblings not just the girls learn that same lesson. While it was understandable to freeze up in the moment, at some point you had to break free of that and defend yourself or you were going to end up worse than just a couple bumps and bruises to your body and ego.
She exhaled a sigh, now that he was away the air was a bit less heavy and distracting with his scent she felt her mind slowly piecing itself together. The potion would have taken full effect by now and she could faithfully get up to make sure he was taken care of before getting to any cleanup. Carefully she shifted forward on the bed as she sat upright, swinging her legs over the side and braced herself to stand up slowly when she found herself stopped quite suddenly when she realized Godric was standing right beside the bed and right in front of her now.
It took Astrid a moment to refocus herself, a bit surprised by his sudden appearance but maybe that was just her not paying attention and he had been there the whole time. Thankfully she managed to catch the last bit of his words and it was enjoy to kickstart her mind back awake again, tilting her head back to look up at his face instead of his body in front of her. "I'm sure its not as bad as you think, unlike last time you knew what to look for instead of blindly rummaging. We all make messes especially in cases like this where its unfamiliar and your feeling the urges of an emergency situation" she replied. She had wanted to refuse his help with cleaning off the blood, finding it as a lesser necessity then finishing repairing his broken fingers and seeing to his various bruises but he was already standing in front of her and with his scent once again filling her nose and mind she found her will somewhat less strong as it had been just a moment ago.
