He could tell how concerned she was for him, much like the first game he had played the previous term when she had been stuck in the stands and he had had bad luck with a few bludgers.
"Aye...I think I will be," he answered, debating actually having it checked out or not. Gideon having inherited the family hesitance with healers in connection to the members who were actually healers themselves including his grandfather. "How did it go?" the fifth year said, asking about the rest of the try-out. The boy trying his best to play off the hurt not wanting to appear weak in front of her.
The redhead looked up at him with concerned eyes as he took a moment to respond to her. Although she knew it was not Captain-like she was very concerned about him. Selina did not like to see people get hurt. She had seen so many people get hurt over the years and now something about injuries just perturbed her. Of course, she did not want to show how uneasy she was to Gideon. That would only push along him whole
I'm-fine-complex.
When he answered that he was indeed okay she nodded at him slowly. There was a part of her that did not believe him, but she so desperately wanted to believe him. Because part of her felt responsible for him getting hurt today. After all it was an injury at HER try out. She rose her eyebrow at him and said,
"Are you sure? You'd tell me honestly if you were not okay, right?"
Taking the hint about try outs she hesitantly debated whether she should slip his hand into hers or not. They had never really been that kind of couple to show affection. Honestly, most people usually thought they were best friends before anything else and in some respects Selina liked that. She liked the fact that he was her friend first because that meant they had would always be friends and could be themselves with one another. On the other hand that was a disadvantage because the whole romantic part of their relationship was just kind of awkward. Neither of them really knew how to handle it... of course being teenagers also did not help the awkward gene. So Selina decided to just let her arm dangle,
"I mean they went well. Jack Tatum, the first year, is really fantastic. And Brooklyn, Ariella and Alex are good too. We still have a lot of try outs though, so we'll see."
