WHO: Pride Team
WHEN: Monday morning, strategy meeting followed by a training day
WHERE: Portree Quidditch complex
SUMMARY: Announcing Joy's departure.
WARNINGS: Perhaps language

At the normal Monday morning strategy meeting, Cav, with Ellie and Bart alongside him, announces that Joy will not be returning to the team from Australia. He'll say that the team is committed to finding a replacement but that in the meantime, this is a chance for the reserve squad and the team to come together. If anyone has any questions, his office door is, of course open.

He'll then turn it over to Ellie for the rest of the meeting and then it will be followed by training as scheduled.

Ainsley (is sympathetic)

As soon as she'd come in, Ainsley situated herself near Amir, and definitely between him and Meaghan, although it may not have been clear that this as intentional (it was). She was in a great mood, however, because a super early meeting with the healers at St Mungo's had cleared her for practice- she just had to get the same clearance from Maggie and then she was going to go straight to Ellie and Bart and tell them the good news!

This mood, of course, was immediately dashed by Cav's announcement. The shock was apparent, but it was tempered with a sudden doubt when she recollected Meaghan's reactions to Amir's remarks. Ainsley dismissed the idea as unimportant in the grand scheme of things. At Ellie and Chidera's suggestion, she offered, "I can make a few things, if everyone would like."

	Chidera comes over after the meeting to start plotting, but first she is just like: "What the fuck is wrong with these people - they act like she died." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Attrition is alive and well, and nesting comfortably in the bowels of Portree," Ainsley mutters back, making damned sure no one else is around to hear her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ainsley stays wisely silent, but there's the tiniest ghost of a smile hanging around the vicinity of her mouth. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Amir (is grateful)

Amir had noticed that Ainsley was standing by him and intentional or not, (though he suspected intentional,) he was grateful that she was there. (He didn't even realise she was using herself as a human shield but he'd also have been grateful for that.) He also noted her good mood and wanted to ask her about it but then the meeting started, instantly sobering the entire team.

Except Terry, he saw, who was simply eating donuts.

	She will definitely tell him the good news once the meeting breaks up. She even suggests that- once cleared by Maggie, and the formal training is done- that she, Amir and Chidera put in some extra practice (being the newer members of the team and all)... and Pip too, if he wants!

	Amir is totally on board with this, but tells Ainsley there's something he'll need to do first. Because he's going to apologise to Meaghan today in person and not let himself back out of that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
