Oh, uh, I guess I should I have said. There's no skates! You just wear cleats.

[weaponxx]

Like football.

[dontmccallmyname]

Yeah! Only with sticks. There's a lot of tackling, though, like football.

[weaponxx]

[ There is a long pause as she considers. ] I want to play.

[dontmccallmyname]

[You can't see this, but Scott is smiling like a loser—that worked?] Just come when tryouts are happening. Or even before, if you wanna check out what it's like!

[weaponxx]

I will be there. [ A pause, and then. ] Laura.

[dontmccallmyname]

Cool!

Uh, I'm Scott. It's nice to meet you.

[weaponxx]

Yes. It is nice to meet you, too.
