[ james tosses max a grin, and he's about to do exactly that -- but then he notices the blood, and he frowns, putting his full focus on her. ]

You alright?

[timelapsed]

[ Max wipes the blood off with the back of her shirt sleeve. ] Yeah... Yeah, I'm fine.

[ Deflection is in order! ] Now how about you show me your sweet moves? I have to at least get one good picture out of this mess.

[ james doesn't look entirely convinced, still frowning at max... but he lets it go for now, turning to the snitch, which is flitting about over his head. ]

This one's a bit old, so it's a little slower than normal.

[ james lets his eyes follow the snitch around while speaking, predicting its movements. ]

I'm not a Seeker on my team, but playing with this thing helps me with my reflexes, and lets me --

[ and his hand snatches out, closing neatly over the snitch. ]

-- get faster.

[ Max captures this in photo form, at least. CLICK, flash! ]

Okay, I have to admit, I'm impressed. You did a better job in like two seconds than I did in however long I was at it.

[misterprongs]

I've had more practice.

[ admittedly, and modestly, though james will never turn down free attention. ]

I've been playing with them since I could walk -- you've just got to trap it in a room with you so there's less room for it to move, and then you can practice grabbing at it. Just don't crunch the wings.

[ and james holds out the snitch, careful to hold onto it. ]

[timelapsed]

And don't accidentally leave a window open, right? [ She examines that snitch. Its wings do look kinda delicate, which doesn't make sense for something you're supposed to catch while playing some weird wizard rugby. ] I think I've had enough practice to last me the rest of my natural life, though.

[ She'll snag another picture, though, focusing on that snitch. ]

[misterprongs]

Well, if you do, I expect I'll have to go catch it.

[ he holds still as max takes her picture, and he allows the snitch to flutter above his palm for a moment. ]

Maybe being the Seeker isn't for you, then.

[timelapsed]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only thing I'm good at seeking is trouble.

[misterprongs]

Then we've something in common.

[ appreciatively ]

Maybe a Chaser -- that's what I play, on the team.
