	"Swell," he deadpanned, and reached for the Gatorade. "How are you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her hand tightens on the bottle, unwilling to let go until she gets a satisfying answer. "More details, please. Medic's orders." A beat, "And I'm braw." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	David shot Maggie an irritated look. "How do you think I'm doing? It's bloody 11 o'clock at night and we've been here since 6 this morning. Take a guess." He tugged the gatorade more firmly and unscrewed the cap. "Great. Glad to hear it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fine, she let go. "I've done plenty of guesses, Urquhart, but I need you to share, for once." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm exhausted and angry and I want to go home. There." He took a long sip while watching Maggie, challenging her to find a problem with his statement. Which was as much as she was going to get. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maggie's face remained neutral — this wasn't her first rodeo. "You've only a couple more hours to go, and your players will have to be used to longer matches than this." Yes, her choice of possessive nouns was intentional. (Alright, fine, it sort of was her first rodeo? Her first hell week, at least. Ah, fuck it.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"They won't, actually," he grumbled. "Any game over twelve hours allows for a two-hour break and there's only been two games this season anywhere close to that. The odds of a game this long are negligible; the vast majority average around four hours. Not to say we shouldn't prepare for them, but I've done my homework." David glared at the ground. "This isn't safe. "

"Negligible but not impossible," Maggie began, pointing the protein bar in his direction, "and this week is supposed to prepare you lot for it. I worked with MacFusty to ensurr everything was above board." Fine, maybe she wasn't completely fine with it, but whatever. "Now, are you going to keep speaking to me as though I haven't taken the team's health to heart, or are you going to actually tell me how you're doing?" Although her tone was concerned, her expression didn't stray from 'done with this shit.'

	David rolled his eyes. "It's barely above board and you know it." He took another sip and folded his arms across his chest. "I already told you how I'm doing, and that's all I plan to tell you at the moment as you are neither my sibling nor my parent, so if you don't mind, please stop asking." He stared back evenly.

	"It's as above as I could make it." She replied, maybe a little to tersely. She had done everything she could to ensure they were playing by the rules -- and they were, if only just. "And I'm neither of those, but I am your medic. Evading the question isn't going to help anything." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Wednesday Hoverings irkuhart 2018-02-08 07:36 am UTC (link)
	"'As above board as I could make it' is unacceptable." David trusted Maggie to make sure they wouldn't accidentally die at practice, but the fact that she had to intervene at all was problematic and not something he was going to stand by and just allow. "I'm fine, Maggie. I'm angry, but I'm fine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was difficult not to roll her eyes. "It's all to code, David. There's plenty more the coaches could have done before they crossed a line, and Cavallero, MacFarlane, and I would have stopped them well before they did." 'Angry' and 'fine' were still too vague to please her, but with Wee Davey clamming up she knew there wasn't much she could get out of him for the time being.

She frowned but, to her credit, she didn't sigh. She nodded. "Alright. Fly safe."
