Ingina isn't at all appreciative of her efforts.

"Four years?" she screeches. "I could have been married this year but thanks to you I have to wait four years!"

Rowena doesn't massage her temple only because she knows better than to show weakness to enemy. "Yes, and now you might actually have a decent relationship with your husband. Apparently Godric is better than the rumors, because he wasn't exactly eager to wed and bed a teenager a decade younger than him. Give yourself a couple years to grow up. Maybe study your swordplay if you want him to be actually interested."

Her eyes narrow. "Well, you've changed your tune, haven't you? You just want him for yourself!"

She wrinkles her nose. "One, absolutely not. Two, if I did I would have simply challenged him for his hand and we'd already be married. I really did this for your benefit, Ingina."

"I hate you!" she snaps, stomping off to her room in a flurry of skirts.

Rowena resists the urge to summon something alcoholic. She's still not completely over her hangover from drinking with Helga. Again.

Godric had warned her. Salazar had just laughed.

"Maybe I should have bargained for eight years instead," she says dryly.

Her uncle claps her on the shoulder than goes after his daughter.

Her father is giving her a look that makes the space between her shoulder blades itch. "What?"

"You do seem to be more complimentary towards the young Lord Gryffindor," he says slowly.

"Not you too," she sighs. "He has excellent companions and is rather tolerable after the second glass." She pauses then admits, "I do not believe he would have much patience for Ingina as she is now. "

"Well," he sighs, "let's hope the next four years are full of change, then."
