It already seemed like she worried enough about his safety when he played given his past playing and her actions. The yelling after the Ravenclaw match the previous term a perfect example.
"Aye...if I was badly hurt I would tell ye," he answered purposely using a certain choice of phrase so he wasn't lying. No...he wasn't BADLY hurt but badly was up for each person's interpretation. His wrist did hurt like the dickens at the moment though, the reprieve given by the hot water of the shower starting to wear off. Not that he would allow it to show.
Thankfully Selina took the bait, moving the conversation back to the talk of quidditch and the tryouts both in general and specifically. Gideon nodded as he listened debating starting walking again so they weren't just standing on the walk. They were a good set of players overall and one could only guess what could come of it. "Aye...I guess we will," he remarked in agreement, finally deciding to lead them. His uninjured hand and arm tentatively moving behind her and guiding her so they could take a stroll in the process of talking as they made their way back towards the castle.
There was a huge part of Selina that did not trust Gideon. Deep down, under all of his reassurances and smiles, she had a feeling he was in more pain than he was letting on. Her blue eyes searched his green for a moment to find any trace of a lie in his eyes. The problem was Selina was an awful liar herself, so she could not tell when others were not being a hundred percent honest. So she nodded and said,
"Okay, as long as you promise you aren't terribly hurt."
She took his mark and started to walk with him down the pathways back to the castle. Their conversation about Quidditch seemed over and she was not going to push the whole try out conversation. Mostly because she had no idea who was even going to be on the team yet. They had only had two try outs thus far. Besides, a majority of the try outs were this weekend. So she would wait and see what happened.
As the two of them continued to walk down the pathway Selina turned her head to look at him and asked,
"So how have you been this term? We haven't really seen each other one on one this term." It was true. Every time they had seen one another it had been in groups or with Kurumi. It was nice just to be the two of them.
