Unless you've talked to Decourt and that offer is no longer on the table.

You're damn right I'm right!

[......]

Christ. Alright, you're going to talk. And you're going to be honest with me. Got it? [...] Clemmy hasn't said anything about you. Would you like to start with that?

Nia/Casper

[casperkim]

[...] I'll tr Yes. I've got it.

[...] She and Quayle made an announcement to the team that I didn't like. We got into an argument.

Nia/Casper

[heyitsnia]

Alright. Just how bad was this argument? Sounds like pretty, if you're thinking I wouldn't've made time to listen to you.

Nia/Casper

[casperkim]

[...] I don't know.

But having most of it in front of the whole team probably didn't help. And I know Decourt's pissed. [...] I still think it's bullshit. What they want to do. But I promised Quayle I wouldn't get into it again.

I haven't talked to either of them much since.

Nia/Casper

[heyitsnia]

Hmmm. Yes. I'm going to say that arguing with your superiors in front of everyone when you're the most senior player was not a good idea.

I'm not going to be able to advise you on quidditch dilemmas, so how about you tell me more broadly what's been on your mind lately?

Neither is undercutting what Leo taught us and trying to make us play like fucking Coppertale. [...] I didn't think what I said would get the younger players so riled up, though. Since when does my opinion matter so fucking much?

[...] It's the same old shit, Nia. There's too much going on that I don't understand and I don't trust any of it. I don't like how people are treating what's happening here like a curiosity or a game with no consequences or a romantic tragedy they can overcome with good intentions. I don't like getting fucked around with by forest entities or ghosts and I'm trying to keep it away from my friends the others but I can't. Not entirely. [...] And sometimes I try to think about what my mom would've done. But I don't know.

That's all par for the fucking course around here, though. So I don't know why it's different now. I'll think I'm all right but then I just get so angry.

Leo Fiori’s gone, Casper. Clem and Uly are going to run their team their way and you're incredibly lucky you haven't been benched for asking them to be beholden to a guy who, honestly? Is probably way too busy with auror training to spend much time thinking about Gooseberry quidditch ethics. Look at how much you still look up to him, though? You can't tell me you didn't realize you might earn similar reverence from a bunch of newbie sophomores now that you're a senior. Decide what kind of example you want to set for them, because you're doing it whether you want to or not.

I understand your frustrations. Maybe you should start focusing on what you can do, rather than what you can't control. You’re helping students learn their patronuses. That’s a great move. Help people be prepared, themselves, instead of trying to protect everyone on your own. It’s small, but it’s something.

This is a good start. I know this is hypocritical of Talking this shit out helps. Just, whatever's stressing you out. Put it out there and it’ll help you cool off. Anything shitty happen recently you want to get off your chest?

I know Leo's gone. Off somewhere doing shit that actually matters. But Decourt and Quayle telling all the new players that it's all right to break the rules if you can get away with it is bullshit. That's not how this team is supposed to work. Leo never would've There are rules. Play the fucking game or don't. [...] Reverence seems like a strong w [...] I didn't think about it. Honestly. It was a mistake.

[...] I know you do. But how do you keep it from I'm trying. But it doesn't feel like enough. [...] Did you see the way Quayle was looking at that thing on Friday night? Like he'd fucking follow it back into the forest again if it asked nice e

I'm not sure about that yet. If this is a good start or if it'll matter. [...] Apart from the obvious shitty thing?

Nia/Casper

[heyitsnia]

Yeeeah, I'm not going to argue with you about quidditch. It's on you to decide what's most important to you, there. You can disagree with your superiors without causing a scene.

I did see. And I think you need to realize that your cabinmates are intelligent, capable young men and not children that'll march into danger if they aren't on a leash. It'll save you some grief if you trust them.

Yes. Apart from the obvious shitty thing. C'mon, I'm not a Legilimens. Get to talking.
