[ that's hot

On the other hand Claire is setting out to be the anti-wallflower in this situation. If he shies away from this noble tradition everyone will think he thought about it too much and wimped out. And that - that's not gonna happen.

So here he is, owning this strange homoerotic tradition like he thought it up himself (which, technically, he supposes he did because solipsism) and seeking out this other team captain. He doesn't need to catch hold of Mako's sleeve as he notices him slipping away. The tone of voice he uses ought to be enough to stop hom. ] Mako, right?

[grumpiness]

[Dude... Mako instinctively flinches when Claire grabs him, which is a knee-jerk reaction he picked up from the streets as a kid. His elbow pushes back against the hold as he turns to get a look at the guy, eyes widening a fraction when he recognizes him as 'that batshit player who is way too excessive'. Seriously, out of everyone here, this guy was approaching him? He should have gone after one of the few female captains wandering around the room.]


Yeah. [He keeps his response abrupt enough to indicate that he's not about to go on about himself.] Wave Tracers, right?

[vinovidivici]

You got it. [ It's a sign! Good choice, split-second decision to grab this player. Oh, and Claire does let go of Mako's sleeve like nothing happened. ] We'll be up against the Fire Ferrets in the quarter-finals, am I right? Assuming we both make it through the first round. And personally I think that's a dead cert, you guys could thrash the Badgermoles without breakin' a sweat.

[ See, he's polite, bigging up your side without saying anything about his own team. It's not that he feels there's no justification needed for saying his team will win. ]
