A girls' dormitory famous Skylar pep talk about how she had had one too many sardine flavored beans or something...but it didn't come...and this was almost worse.
Kurumi remained very still for a while, not knowing if she should even say anything. She knew that she would have to, especially since the lion seemed to have Selina's tongue at the moment. "S-S-Selina? W-W-What's wrong? S-S-Say something...."
No Quidditch. She wasn't going to do Quidditch.
Her head recycled those thoughts over and over again in her head trying to make sense of all of the lunacy that was currently going on, but she could not come up with anything. The room had gone to a stand still. Nothing else could even function. Basic motor skills? Gone. Breathing? Still there but shallow. Voice? She had none.
As time passed in a very far off place she heard a voice beckon to her. Her eyes did not move from their spot on the wall, but the rest of the room was becoming less and less fuzzy. It was remarkable. Things were starting to move again and Selina could wiggle her toes. Second by second parts of her senses woke up. She felt alive again and now another emotion had taken her place... anger. Sheer and utter anger.
Very carefully she folded her hands over her lap and put up a hand to silence Kurumi who had been talking to her,
"I-I'm okay. I'm just trying to see if I understand this correctly. All because of one game where you fell, you are going to give up Quidditch.... this is correct? Okay then. How about this then, huh? Next time you burn something in the Kitchen stop cooking! Next time you fail a test stop studying! Stop trying to be anything BUT mediocre. Because when the going gets tough you give up right? BECAUSE THAT IS HOW YOU ARE LOOKING AT THINGS!"
She let out a sigh,
"Merlin, Kurumi. Okay, maybe playing Seeker wasn't your forte. But you are a good flyer. You could play any other position. So what is your hang up then, huh? Where is the brave little lion I know? Because you are being a cowardly lion and even he in the end realizes how much of a coward he is being... I just.. UGH!"
