"Hmm?" Julius said as he had watched Celaena contemplate the apple for a moment before taking a small bite where he had. She seemed fairly embarrassed and that was when he blushed slightly looking away. He hadn't really thought of it being that big of deal, but still... he listened as she explained how she had woke up late. Maybe that was why she was embarrassed as she was? It could be only that... maybe. At least he wasn't greeting her with "girlfriend" as a title like the upperclassman in question for the announced vice captain position just did. Then again, that might explain partially why Ronna didn't want the position. Wouldn't it be if your boyfriend got it you were pretty much guarenteed a spot-or you were if you weren't dreadful. And besides did they even have any beaters who were half as experienced as either Toby or Ronna? Actually when those two graduated it was going to be fairly rough on the team.

His thoughts were distracted quickly when Celaena narrowed her eyes at him and added that if he wanted to a kiss he should have woke her up before he left for the field. Ah, well that explained the slight embarrasment about the apple didn't it? He just bit into the fruit right where she was and so she of course paused before taking another bite. Probably sharing food was not a good idea-or not if her older sister was around, she seemed sort of the overprotective type. "While that would have been a brilliant idea, guys aren't able to get into the girls dorms, remember," Julius answered finally with a casual shrug before returning his attention to the debate about who was to be the Quidditch vice-captain.

Arianna was extremely impressed with her friends bravery. "You're amazing you know that right?" Ari grinned at her fearless friend. "Good luck by the way." She sent Nina a genuine smile. "Try not to knock me off my broom too many times, okay?" She glanced back at the captain and now the new vice-captain.

Dani was a little surprised by Crash's choice of Vice-Captain, she'd figured Veronica would get the job, but then realized given what she knew was on her friend's plate it was probably just as well. "All right, Toby," she called out encouragingly, as he seemed to look as though he'd been physically stunned by the announcement.

As it stood her she and her friend were on opposite sides in the tryout scrimmages, just as they had both years she tried out. Dani rather hoped she could avoid getting beaned by Veronica this year; she was starting to collect broken bones like Veronica did at tryouts. However, with the Seeker out of bounds for this exercise, Dani knew she and the other Chasers would be like pigeons on a telephone line for Veronica and her Bludgers.

She was however happy when she heard Arianna's exortation to the rest of her fellow Gold Team members. "Good luck, Ari," Dani called out to the younger Keeper. "Don't let any of them through!"

Dani had her broomstick out of its case, and it leaped eagerly from the ground upon her command, like a thoroughbred chomping at the bit. Mounting her broom, she kicked off from the ground, and she felt the now-familiar rush wash over her as her feet were separated from the earth. 'Here is the only time I truly feel free,' she thought, 'but then I've been a far better pilot than I am a shooter. Maybe today I can be both.'

With a wicked smile, Dani launched herself through a lag roll, a snap barrel roll, to the right, before leaning into a climbing turn to the left. She sailed around the edge of the pitch at high speed, luxuriating with the feeling of freedom too long denied. After making a couple laps of the perimeter of the pitch, Dani pulled up and hovered, waiting for the balls to be released and the game to begin.

The instant the Quaffle was launched, Dani made her bid to be the first to win the face-off.

❁ ❀ ✿Tanya made the definitive "I ******** up" face when Ronna backed away clearly stating in her physical stance that she wasn't vice captain. Her eyes then widened when Toby was asked and he nervously accepted also causing them to shift over to his girlfriend to see her reaction. When she didn't see one she just assumed she was fine and offered her obligatory (if somewhat confused) congratulations to Toby for his vice captainship. She gave a silent sigh of relief when Crash separated them into teams and instructed them to do laps before waiting for the quaffle. Without a second glance she jumped upon her broom and did her laps around the pitch before returning to her position for the tossing of the quaffle.

Ronna narrowed her eyes at Toby when he sneaked a look at her after agreeing to being vice captain and she was half tempted to deck him for it. Did he seriously think he needed her approval or something. Well, granted she would have probably thought of killing him if he said no, but that was different... She smiled slightly in thanks to Crash before glancing at the others and saw Danica slight surprise and Tanya looking a bit horrified she had jumped the gun. Why did everyone assume she wanted every leadership position handed to her? Sure she tried out year after year for beater-even when it was well known the captain at the time and her didn't see eye to eye, but she had stuck it out, but that didn't mean she made quidditch that big of a priority. Besides, she had already expressed her empathetic 'no' to being a vice-captain, which she only had brought up because so many had kept pushing him and her towards that. Her and Crash spent over a year avoiding each other-she was pretty sure that was good reason them as captain and vice-captain wouldn't work. Of course, she had failed to mention to Toby that she had had a crush on Crash and had... well there was the infamous apple incident. Best not to exactly mention names on that one.

She stretched as she listened to Crash begin after Toby accepted the position as Vice-Captain. Two teams. Two chasers on one-three on the other. Two beaters. And then only one person for seeker-Xanders-one of the blue haired triplets-who had been their only reserve last year for seeker. She raised a brow, as she picked up her broom and said to Toby, with a smile, "You know, I'd wish you luck or break a leg or something-but it seems wrong, especially the last one, considering I broke your ankle last year. How about, I'll avoid breaking anything too damaging out of respect to you being the new vice-captain?"

Then, she lifted to the air did a lap around the field with the others and then settled into a spot in the air waiting for the chasers to fight it out before aiming bludgers at anyone. Of course, judging by the crash of Celaena and Danica-which made Ronna wince the slightest-she reckoned an iron ball flying towards the middle of that mess was the last thing they needed at the moment. Besides, it wasn't like she really was competing against anyone for the position of beater-not like her early years. It was almost sad to go into try outs and realize that bludgers weren't going to be flying at you constantly.
