He was there when Ada went down but a few of the others took hits too and at this point he figures there has to be a lineup for the med tent. Merc makes his way over once he congratulates all the players.

Looking like this match did nothing for his blood pressure, and like he frayed most of his last nerves in these 6hours, Merc is there waiting outside the med tent. He at least put out the latest cigarette before Florrie came out, but spending at least half this match chain smoking does leave evidence.

"Well...not the happy birthday I wanted for you," he admits dryly and sounding tired. But at least with the match over and coming away with the win means there's some of the stress off his shoulders.

Florrie hands him a cheese puff.

"I don't think Kal ended her career by playing with a severely torn tendon. They should be able to patch it up so she has full range of motion again. She may miss the next bloc though." Which is not great but as long as Georgi and Lex stay healthy, it should be all right.

She doesn't even complain that he stinks of smoke. She has no room to, given the state of the tower of cheese bread. (She did have some help.)

He takes the cheese puff gratefully and transfigures himself a stool in the med tent. "Well I suppose that's something." Truth was he'd planned to give Kal the remaining regular season matches. It wasn't often you were safe enough in standings to give your reserves extra pitch time. And after this match they had quite the lead but it didn't quite feel worth the payoff.

"Has everything been handed off to Mungo's? Or still on duty?" He held up a small flask with a bow on it. Her post match birthday drink so she wouldn't miss out.

	"Close enough to done. I still have to pack this place up and follow on to Mungo's to see how Kal is doing. But I can have one." She takes the flask and unstoppers it. "Angus stayed with us the whole match. Here's to more like that, at least." She raises the flask and drinks, and passes it to Merc. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

His mood certainly didn't match the festive pink of his suit jacket as he takes the flask back and takes a swig. "The lads really stepped up out there, Kenna too," he admitted.

"Trying to remind myself this was a win, a close one but a win. And that it makes us nearly untouchable in the rankings going into the final two blocs but...we didn't need the points." He leans forward to hand the flask back off to her. "Positive things: We played 5 hours without a keeper and squeaked out a win. Kal was a trooper. The lads did exactly what I wanted of them in this situation and Jason led them well. And Kenna was our hero with better timing than I could've hoped for. On a match with every reserve playing and losing the keeper so early...they did well. Just..." He couldn't put his finger on what was bothering him.

Florrie waves off the flask. She'll be apparating soon so she can't have another. Alas.

"I can talk about what I didn't like. We're now down two reserves going into the Neep. We squeaked it out while the referees were being arses to Wigtown, which isn't on us but I can see how it would look suspicious. Even considering the injuries, we took six hours to down a team that's in the cellar of the rankings, or was. They might make the playoffs off this match. It's not a surprise you're anxious under the circumstances. I know I am, about the injuries. A late-season match against a low-ranked opponent shouldn't cost us this much.

"Tomorrow we should talk about what we're doing to convince the team not to play when injured. Or how to keep from getting injured. Not tomorrow. Tuesday. Tomorrow we have dinner and don't think much about this except when Aunt Minerva asks us about it."

Merc took a longer drink as she listed off the negatives, because they were all things he'd spent the last hours stressing and beating himself up about and while he'd rather not hear them out loud, he wasn't going to stop her. "Could go the other way on refs. Wigtown got 12 fouls with multiple players getting 3 or more. And no ejections except that sham one. Referees did both teams wrong. They need to halt aggressive play that nets multiple fouls per person, not let it slide after they messed up an ejection. If they had maybe we wouldn't be down two reserves with two others injured."

Merc got up from his stool and left the flask aside in case she wanted to bring it with her for later. "Not tomorrow," he agreed. "Tomorrow is the day off and an actual birthday."

	Florrie came over for a hug, because she needed one and she reckoned Merc needed one too. "Day off for them, I think you mean. You and I are going to be working one way or another, especially with Ada and Kal at Mungo's. I'll let you know what I hear from Pye and the rest at Mungo's. I may not be back early if the mediwizards want to wish me well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Don't remind me," he sighed and pulled her into a tight hug, staying quiet for it because it felt like they both needed that moment of reprieve.

He let go after a moment and ran a hand through his hair. "I have some things to sort and need to get the littles home but I'm dropping by Mungo's after to visit Ada and Kal. I'll let you handle the medical side of things, just going to check in on them and bring something. And tell Ada how it ended up, no keeper wants to be knocked out that early and wait in suspense."

"I think she'll already know, but yes, good form to hear it officially. Also, save the lecture for Kal but we do need to talk about playing while injured. We needed this match but we needed the reserves too."

Florrie began packing the tent up, pausing only to pass one of the rapidly diminishing stash of cheese puffs to Merc.

"Do you know if Ives is going to do anything about the refs' call on Maddox? That's a factor in all this too."

"If I'm sending players out to play and get injured enough to end up in Mungo's, the least they deserve is a visit after the match. I'll talk to Kal one on one but I'm not particularly worried about her. She's sensible and not one of our reckless one, she'll take the recovery seriously and work hard to come back."

Merc has to roll his eyes a little at the mention of Ives as he takes the offered cheese puff. "Who knows with that man? Depends on his chi on the day for all I know. But Wigtown needed this match far more than we did."

Florrie joined her brother in an eyeroll that proved their sibling resemblance. "Wigtown didn't get the victory but they gave their fans a thriller and probably clinched a spot in the playoffs. If they can play this hard over the next few weeks, especially if they can do it while rolling back on fouls, they'll go farther than most of the sport expects. There are a lot of teams flying on single-match high-score victories that didn't work this hard for them."

"Clinched is a strong word here but I think after this they're a legitimate contender for those last seeds now. It's just about doing well in the last blocs and the teams below them doing worse. This is very late in the season for a playoff push so it'll be interesting to see." He sighed and shrugged as he fixed himself up.

"Anyway, I'll see you at Mungo's." He came over to give her another hug. "Happy Birthday, Florrie. Tomorrow we'll do it better."
