Maximus almost choked on the food in his mouth when Lady Hufflepuff insisted he stay the night at the school. Before he could get the chance to properly respond with his intention of politely declining she was already saying she was going to fix up a room for him to bunk down in. If she was that determined could he possibly deny her request? Especially when it seemed it might break her spirit if he said no?
The knight brought his fist up to his mouth and coughed softly so that he could properly swallow and though he was reluctant to do so, accepted her generous offer. "Tis most gracious o' ye te allow me a nights rest 'ere this eve," he said politely. "I will nay o'er stay me welcome, Lady 'ufflepuff. As I must return soon if I am te talk me father inte sendin' Moira 'ere."
There. Hopefully, that would appease the wholesome young woman without upsetting the other Founders of the school. He was sure that Lady Ravenclaw was not too keen on his presence and he had yet to meet the remaining Founder. At least Godric seemed accepting of his visit without much reservation. To show that he had every faith in Lady Hufflepuff's abilities, he attempted to offer her a slight smile but it came out as more of an exhausted grimace. At least he was attempting to show his appreciation.
"Tis good te know that she will be eatin' quite well at least," he said as he snuck a glance at the other knight, hoping he hadn't insulted the poor woman with his insistence on not staying long. He didn't want to disappoint her but he really did have to get back to ensure they had a new student for this venture.
