If it doesn't Kill you. . . (Sin)

[Alyxandria Rye]

Alyx was good on a broom, of course she wasn't as good as Sin, which was why there weren't any positions for her on the quidditch team, she was too small, one hit from a bludger and she'd probably be broken into a million pieces, it didn't matter that she could dodge most things that came her way, or that she was quick, she didn't have the strength to throw the quaffle as hard as it needed to be thrown to make goals or to make passes and she hated this disadvantage. Well she hated not "being good enough".

The only position she really was cut out for was Seeker but of course Sin had that position and he was fast, he could see the snitch almost as if he had extra powers to do it and then race for it.

So she "warmed the bench" and waited for her chance for fame, meanwhile she practiced, maybe if she practiced hard enough and long enough she'd be able to beat him...maybe.

She had been practicing for hours already and she knew just about the time that the sun was going down that Sin would probably show up and claim the field, but she was really getting the hang of it now. She kept glancing at the sun using it to measure how much time she had left.

She really resented having to leave the field just because the "Actual" seeker needed practice. She waited and waited, and practiced, and practiced until finally she could see him in the distance.

Sin flew out onto the pitch and he saw Alyx out there and he was sure she'd been practicing again. She never would quite give up trying, she was his best friend but sometimes he wondered if she just liked the challenge of trying to beat him. She was tough and a fighter, but at the same time he felt like a big brother to her.. she got in as much or sometimes more trouble than he did. The difference was that he got caught less than she did.

"Alyx, come to keep the snitch warm for me?"

[Alyxandria Rye]

That was his version, hers was that she was more daring than he was which was why she got into more trouble, it was probably a mixture of both. Not necessarily that she was more daring, but Sin, to her, was the greatest thing since sliced bread and she worried that if she couldn't one up him he'd lose interest in her so she pushed too hard, took impossible risks, and could most of the time pull it off, but the times she didn't pull it off were significant too.

She was tired, sweaty and grimy. She looked adorable. "No he-" and the snitch was a he, since she had named the ball her first year as Argonot, she was trying to get a hang of the weird names some of the wizards had and decided to learn by creating her own weird names for objects"- was just waiting for you to get out her, he needed a rest."

She was the one who needed the rest surely, but try and tell her that and she'd go another ten hours.
