His grin only widens — she seemed so sure when she went off! But he waits for her to get abreast of him before starting to walk. He waits for her to get those words out too, which... well, he somewhat disagrees with the way she downplays it. There are many who may not have ever been out in the field, may not even want to be, but understand the intricacies of the game even better than some players. It still means something.
It means something else, coming from her. But, ah — he glances over and his tone is only a little insufferable. ]
You were watching me that closely? [ Not that it's at all difficult to see his more obnoxious smiles even when the mask is over his face. But those are probably not what she means.
He looks back ahead of them, ] If I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't be out there. I don't think any of us would be.
[ That's just a fact — to be in the starting line-up at Seidou you have to want it, and have the heart to put in the work for it. Which is a convenient detraction from how there were brief moments in which he was smiling like a little boy, honest delight mixed with adrenaline. ]
That was an interesting game, though... We played well, but I think it helped us recognize where we're lacking and what we should be working on.
For observational purposes, yes. [ Somehow that manages to go over her head, though the sight of expression does mild hers. Neutral features flat lining the moment she gazes at that smile of his. ]
Don't you feel that after every game?
[ Curious, she quirks a brow. ]
It's a competitive sport, aren't you all constantly working on advancing as a team? [ "Team" is such a foreign word to her that it almost sounds funny. ] If you left games thinking "that went perfectly" then that isn't helping much... [ Not that she's one to talk with her own mindset, but she's putting into consideration of everything she's studied. Apparently "teamwork makes the dream work" so she's at least trying to apply that here? ]
