The older Gryffindor slipping into his role as sympathetic listener as the redhead speoke once more.
"Aye, I do," Gideon agreed with a nod. "And they could surprise ye and play their best when it matters most." What was that old adage...bad dress rehearsal good show? Or something like that, he wasn't a theater buff. He wished he could offer a promise that it would work just like that, but all he really could do was offer some kind of weak assurance to her fears. And when it came right down to it...would any of them be so willing to let their team and house down for such foolishness as they displayed earlier?
Gideon would like to think he could trust them better then that. That he and Selina and Kurumi and those who came before had instilled a bit more responsibility and house pride into the younger lions. Time would only tell however. "Too bad its a little late for a nice potion to cool them all off...eh minha lua?" There was a touch of jest to try and ease the tension Selina still appeared to hold within herself, his nickname for her added on the end to add his support.
ooc: minha lua = my moon
"They could," Selina smiled. Yeah, Gideon was right. They were really awesome players. They would pull it together at the last minute because, well, that had to. She trusted them to do their duty to their house. It just stunk that they were all fighting right now. The disappointment was a little overwhelming, though.
Rubbing her temples, Selina shook her head at Gideon,
"No, they're good kids. The best kids. I adore them all; it just makes me sad that they can't always get along. Especially since they are ALL so talented and such good friends. We've never had a team this close, not since Carter was Captain." And Selina really loved this team. She didn't want to be upset with the way that they were acting because in many ways she was being unfair. They were all so young and were just starting to get involved in relationships. It was a stressful transition and here she was being upset with them. The last thing she wanted to do was have them be mad at her because she loved them all like little brothers and sisters, but she was stressed.
