At first, Godric thought that Helga was teasing him. Honestly, she'd told him that she expected him to eat at the noon meal so he would have to save at least a little room for that. Therefor, he hadn't eaten nearly as much as he could have. Honestly, if he wasn't careful, her food would overwhelm him and no amount of the work he did all day would keep his body from growing in ways he didn't want to imagine.
However, when she mentioned seeing the nurse, his eyes widened and he shook his head vociferously. No way was he traveling down that path again. He had been there and done that and every single time it hadn't ended well. No best that he keep himself busy and away from that woman and her ways. He mumbled that he was fine, looking away from Helga to direct his attention at Maximus who seemed quite ready for the tour. It wouldn't be the first time the man had had to push through fatigue, though hopefully it might be one of the last. Maximus had earned some rest after everything he had seen and done. Godric just wished that they could find a way to give him that.
And then it occurred to him. Hadn't Helga said something about the librarian Rowena had hired - that he wouldn't be coming after all? Hmm, that posed possibilities. However, he knew better than to mention it aloud without consulting the others. He'd worked alone for so long that he often made impetuous choices - something the others had not appreciated. While he couldn't say that he had learned his lesson for good, this one time, he could respectfully refer it to the others to cast judgement on the situation. Tonight - he'd ask them to meet tonight so that they could quickly discuss it.
For now though, he had other duties he was committed to. His job was to really impress Maximus as much as Helga had with the initial tour. Godric just hoped that he was up to the task.
"Indeed it was, Lady Hufflepuff. Quite filling - just what I needed to get me through until lunch." Godric smiled over at her, getting to his feet to lead Maximus on the tour. He didn't want to interrupt any further conversation between them, wanting Helga to have the chance to make any further conversation so he nodded to the door leading into the Great Hall. "I'll meet you out in the Entrance Hall whenever you're ready."
