@cyrus the team didn't have practice for a few hours yet but koda was out flying around the pitch at their training grounds. it was the lead up to octobers full moon, he was always in the air during the week before the full moon cycle. it kept his mind off what was going to happen and able to combat the snappiness he usually felt during that week. he had charmed a few quaffles to fly around the pitch for him to try and catch, ti was working well. he leaned closer to his broom and grabbed one of the quaffles under his arm zooming toward the goals. there was no keeper at the moment, just the open three rings so he had no trouble getting the ball through the hoop. he flew down to the ground, landing with his feet and he dropped the broom onto the ground as he decided to take a break for a moment. he walked to the edge of the pitch and grabbed the bottle of water sitting on the sidelines and he took a long drink.

The pitch was, like it was for many, a place Quidditch lovers went to unwind; to forget about the troubles in their life. It just so happened that it was also a place that Cyrus went when he was feeling happy. Today he felt he just needed to feel the wind in his hair as he flew around the pitch, just to feel more euphoric than he was. Eleanor was back in his life... even if she just lived a neighborhood away, and he was happy.
Cyrus exited the part of the stadium in which players came out of just to see his Captain on the sidlines drinking water. With his broom in hand, Cy approached him with a smirk. "Need a Keeper, Cap?"

@cyrus "Need a Keeper, Cap?" koda looked up to see the team's keeper walking over to him. he must have just got there because koda hadn't recalled seeing him around the pitch before now but then he hadn't really been paying attention. he'd been too busy focusing on staying on his broom and keeping the quaffle in the air. he dropped his bottle onto the ground and reached down to grab his broom and he nodded his head slightly. "well it would make it more interesting" he said with a quick grin. he hoped he'd be able to keep his temper in check, it was often harder in the lead up to the full moon and since it was only a few days away he could already feel it just under the surface.

Cyrus smiled lightly and nodded when Dakoda agreed to his joining in on the little mini practice he was holding. With his broom in hand, Cyrus kicked his leg up over one side so that he was straddling the broom and then pushed up off of the ground so that he was floating just a few feet up in the air. "Respective positions?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at Koda. Cy could only assume he would want to be playing his regular position as Chaser, so he made his way over to the goal posts. "Your move, Captain!" He called out.

@cyrus "Respective positions?" koda nodded once as he pushed his feet off from the ground and soared into the air as cyrus went to take his spot at the three rings at the edge of the pitch. "Your move, Captain!" he had the quaffle tucked under his arm as he leaned forward slightly and flew toward the rings, flying in a zigzagging pattern so cyrus wouldn't be able to tell which ring he was going for. as he decided between the rings he settled on the middle one, ducking the broom down slightly as he lifted the ball into the air and launched it toward the goal, waiting to see if cyrus had been able to defend it.

Cyrus firmly grabbed the handle of his broom, leaning forward slightly to brace himself for whatever direction he had to dive into. He was currently guarding the middle post, but Dakoda was zigzagging left and right, doing a fake out. Cyrus had seen him do that on the field before, but he had always seen it from behind and not head on. He never realized before just how jarring his captain was. Cyrus was sure, for a split second, that Dakoda was heading for the post to Cyrus's left so he dove down just the slighest when he realized that he was wrong and Koda was going for the center post. Cyrus overcorrected too quickly and missed the goal by just the smallest second. "Guess I'm a little rusty," he admitted with a smirk.

@cyrus "Guess I'm a little rusty,"koda grinned and turned his broom up to hover slightly above the goals and he looked down at his team keeper. he leaned his elbow down on the handle of his broom and shrugged his shoulders slightly. "or i really am as good as they all say" he teased. he didn't have a big head when it came to his abilities in the game, he knew he wasn't the best but he was certainly good enough to earn the captains spot of a successful team. "ready for round two? i'll go a little easier on you this time" he said as he caught the waffle as it was launched back to him.

Cyrus let out a light-hearted scoff at Koda's words. "Sure it is," he responded jokingly. Cyrus loved everyone on his team; he felt lucky to be a part of a successful, hard-working team, and with Dakoda as captain, it was even better. He really was a talented player in Cyrus's eyes, and he really appreciated him not only as a teammate but as a friend. "Alright," Cyrus said, prepping himself for another round. "Whoever scores to six first, owes the other lunch. Deal?" Cyrus raised a challenging eyebrow.

@cyrus "Alright, Whoever scores to six first, owes the other lunch. Deal?" he nodded his head, agreeing to the deal. he could go for that and if he happened to lose he would be okay with that too. he wanted his team members to be able to beat him in a match, it meant they'd all have a better chance on the field against another team. he didn't mind not being the best player on his team if he meant they all had something to give. "you're on bud!" he said as he tucked the quaffle under his arm and flew his broom around the goals to get back into position with the quaffle. he was about to make his move when he suddenly felt a racing in his chest, his heart suddenly going a mile a minute and things took a dizzying turn, it took him by that much of a surprise he let the quaffle slip from his arm as it fell back toward the green of the pitch, he brought his hand to his chest and leaned forward on his broom, resting his head on the handle of his broom as he took deep breathes to try and quell the pounding he was feeling. the days before the full moon were always a struggle and usually flying helped him stay distracted from it but today it hadn't worked .. his body was starting to rebel against him in anticipation of what would happen over the next lunar cycle.

Cyrus put on a smirk as he readied himself for whatever Koda threw at him, but instead his teammate dropped the quaffle. Cyrus raised an eyebrow at his friend as he watched him. "You alright there, mate?" He called out to him. If Cyrus's calculations were correct, a full moon was approaching them and Cyrus knew that his captain was a werewolf. Cyrus had never though ill of Koda for it. Thoughts like those were ancient. This was 2023 after all! So while Cyrus knew and didn't much care about his captain's lycanthropic tendencies, he still worried for the well being of his teammate and friend.

@cyrus "You alright there, mate?" cyrus sounded far away. further away than he really was. koda hadn't been that far from the rings when he'd had to stop but he felt too far away, too disconnected from things and it was a frightening experience when one was so high up on the broom. he didn't feel his heart slowing any so he made the choice to stop. he nodded his head to cyrus before motioning with his hand that he was flying down. he lifted his head slightly and maneuvered his broom on a downward course to the green field below them. once he was on the ground, his two feet placed firmly there he took a moment with his hands resting on his knees and finally he felt himself feeling like normal again. he could breathe properly again, his heart wasn't racing and he was feeling like he wasn't so far away. he ran his hand through his hair and looked up at the sky slowly, not wanting to send his head spinning again. "how about we call it?" he called up to cyrus. "i'll shout lunch."

Cyrus wondered how close the full moon was in the cycle. It wasn't something he really kept track of, though he probably should considering his captain's status as a werewolf. When Koda motioned that he was heading back to solid ground, Cyrus followed. Cyrus felt the ground beneath his feet once again but stopped moving as he took a second to watch Koda collect himself. Cyrus could not help the concerned look on his face, but in an instant Koda seemed to be back to normal and talking about lunch. "Sounds fine with me, mate. I'm starving," Cyrus agreed.
