Note to self. Maybe. Get bell an official whistle. Maybe. Not having one sorta cut out a step and fingers were always attached to you and couldn't fall off while you performed some aerial moves. Well...actually...
No. Stopping thoughts there.
Focusing on Bel as she brought tryouts to an official start, Derf couldn't help but feel a sort of brotherly affection as she spoke. It was sorta the kind of feeling he had when he had seen Celyn take her first steps, only that KINDA sounded belittling and like Bel was some fragile thing...which wasn't the case at ALL. But the sentiment of pride was similar, you know? From motocross gear and never properly playing before to Captain in a year's time. It was special, you know?
"Anytime, Daisy," he nodded to his friend. And he truly meant it.
Leaning his broom against his shoulder, cheek to bristles, Derf nodded along and drummed his hands on the handle eagerly. His own bat was tucked into his back pocket at the moment, so no need to borrow one of those and he couldn't help but glance around the crowd to wonder who else were beater hopefuls this term. He was really keen to already start feeling out dynamics in the air and see who played well off of each other. The just HAD to have a better performance than last term. HAD TO!
And then part of his curiosity was quenched when Daisy mentioned she was trying out for beater this term. Well, and keeper, but logistics. From chaster to beater, kinda like him. That was neat.
Smiling as the fourth year spoke, Derf waiting a moment before offering up his own brief introduction. Aaaaaall the while shifting his weight back and forth between his feet. He was antsy, all right?
"Derfael Ashburry-Hawthorne, but Derfael is a mouthful...'specially on the pitch, so just call me Derf," he nodded. "I'm a beater and played for our house last term. Um...I like chocolate frogs...but only for the cards inside because I collect them. Usually just let the chocolate frog hop around and admire the charmwork involved there." There was a THING about eating that kind of chocolate, even if it wasn't REAL frog. Still had eyes and it was still looking at him. "Getting real close to having a complete collection now."
His bright blues drifted over to the coarse and, well, he was right eager to get air born and give it a whirl.
