seems_fishyFlayn was still looking forward to this match.
From the way he smiled when he described his plan, she knew he meant for her to feel excited and confident in its success. She'd done her best to meet his expectations, and she was still excited about getting to play with him. She would see even more of his playing this way; she would have much to learn from!
At the same time, for him to generally say leave most of this to me, feels... well. She doesn't quite want to name the feeling and make it real, she'd rather hold on to the way she felt when she opened his drawing of the yellow rose. Because she was sure that the same heart was behind both decisions. One just felt better than the other; that was all.
With practice winding down, she helps the first year girls put away the unneeded balls (it was only fair), craning her neck constantly to see if the boys were ready. They were at least easy to spot, being so tall...
She waved hopefully when it looked like they were putting things away, too.
