Stubborn till then end, just like a child went through her mind as she listened to his reply and eventually give in to her request. Astrid had faith she would win this fight against him, pride for a man was just as high up their as their odd variations of modesty and thankfully she was able to hold back on smiling in victory. She did take advantage to look over the injury when Godric raised his shirt high enough. It looked bad but not terrible and it was a testament to him for how long he must have endured the pain from it once his adrenaline wore off. Possibly whatever alcohol he had consumed as well, it was noticeable now that she stood close to him and unable to help herself she wondered what the other man must look like after losing to a man like Godric.
She set down the potion and her wand before stepped across the room and grabbing a clean white sheet from another cupboard. Try as he might to suggest her to just stitch it up and they could worry about it later, she let it brush off already having in mind a way she would mend the injury and permitting he didn't protest to much would be quicker then having to sew his skin together.
Astrid felt the hair on the back of her neck prickle and her breath pause in her lungs when she turned around to return to Godric and found him standing up with his shirt removed. The sight caught her attention and it took all of her will not to run her eyes over all of his exposed skin. Indeed he was a rather dashing man, his body built and maintained from his profession and a slight tan hinted on his exposure to the sun and elements of nature. No doubt his wife was a rather lucky woman to have someone like him to wind down each day with. Lucky she got to enjoy the physical example of his strength and power when he held her and the tender warmth of his heart when they were alone. Some women had all the luck indeed.
Internally shaking the distraction from her mind, she returned to the bed and Godric. Doing as he asked she unfolded the sheet and held it up between them like a makeshift curtain. The material was a little thin so Astrid could see the shadow of his movements and turned her head to the side to avoid hitting any further into his ego. Only she didn't take into account the small mirror on a nearby pillar that either one of them must have bumped into at one point because instead of being angled enough to see the infirmary doors across the room, she was instead looking at a fully naked Godric on the other side of the sheet. The sight was in the blink of an eye before she sharply looked down at the floor to avoid seeing it any more. The damage had already been done if you could call it that, her heart skipped a beat at the momentary sight of his physical state, toned and muscled to make any women weak in the knees. She drew in her lower lip and nipped at it lightly to remain silent about the seen. His wife was indeed a very lucky woman.
Astrid remained still when he took the sheet from her and she took the extra precaution of her mind bringing the image back up to close her eyes as he made a makeshift cover for his body and sat back down. She took the halt of sound as confirmation she was done and opened her eyes, releasing her lower lip just before and turning to look at him. As she had practiced, her features remained calm and collected, unbothered by his new state of appearance as she stayed professional.
"First thing lets treat your lip as this might make it worse otherwise." she said, picking up her wand and taking a step closer. Astrid leaned forward, taking her free hand and gently taking hold of his chin. She directed his face up slightly, gently easing his head back to get a better angle. It was hard not to take note of the decrease of space between them but holding firm to her professionalism as a healer she didn't let it effect her as she pointed the tip of her wand to the cut on his lip. "Episkey" she said quietly making a small circle motion as she said the spell out loud. She took note of the skin healing itself in less time then a breath and leave behind no evidence that it had been there in the first place. With a smile, Astrid leaned away, gently taking her hand from his chin with her and turned to the tray again. This time she picked up what looked like a piece of bark a little smaller than the size of her palm and she held it up towards his mouth. "Bite down on this, it will reduce the pain on both your teeth should you wince or grind them in pain and the oils will help ease some of the pain away as your body absorbs them. This next part will be a little painful, though I have no doubt you may have felt worse the bark is just a precaution to avoid any other injuries from happening as well as part of the treatment I have in mind." she waited until he took it, either with his hand or letting her place it between his lips.
With the bark in place she grabbed a different potion from the tray, this one a deep purple color and a faint trail of smoke was curling around the top of the bottle. Astrid calmly lowered herself down to sit on her knees on the floor so she was better level with his hip. She reached for the bowl of water and set it down beside her then looked up at Godric offering an encouraging expression to help ease any worry or nervousness he may have been feeling. He would be in safe and well experienced hands and she was hoping she was expressing that enough.
