If you have questions or want to plot, feel free to add me on Plurk at pantheraliam))

I'm glad it's obvious! [ he grins widely; if there's one thing Raihan likes, it's being noticed. ] I don't doubt that - I reckon you could wipe the floor with all of us if this was a one-on-one competition. Is it a professional thing, or just for love of the game?

[ both are valid, but he's not sure if Iwaizumi is even old enough to be a professional... but then again, what does he know? it's not like they're even from the same world, so who's to say high school kids can't be volleyball pros? ]

Not habitually, but I have a few games under my belt. I've got the natural advantage, so why not make use of it?

[ when he finds himself in Hulbury for work and needing a break, he makes a point to bother Nessa to head to the beach with him. it usually ends up with her taking a swim and him taking advantage of the setting for some selfies, but they usually end up hitting a volleyball over a net a few times once they get bored. a model and an online influencer are bound to gather attention like that, but it at least gives them enough bodies to make a proper team. ]

[Iwaizumi can’t help but preen a little at the idea he’d be a professional, but even so, he shakes his head.]

Not professional - not really. I’m just on my high school team, but it’s a powerhouse in our prefecture. We definitely put the work of a professional in. [Oikawa would accept no less - neither would Iwaizumi.]

I’m vice captain and ace. I know a couple of guys on my team that’ll probably go pro some day, but I’m not sure if that’s where my path’ll take me.

[He smirks a little (perhaps with some vague chagrin) at what he assumes is a comment on Raihan’s height. He can’t help but be a little jealous, though he’d never admit that.]

You’ve definitely got an advantage there, yeah. You’d be one hell of a middle blocker. Not that height’s all there is to it, but it definitely doesn’t hurt.

So you're high on the totem pole! That's nothing to bat an eye at. [ he smiles, genuine and reassuring. ] Go at your own pace. You're young; you've got plenty of time to figure it out.

[ he's speaking like he's not only a few years older than Iwai... but no matter! dishing out advice is what Gym Leaders do - call it force of habit, even if it puts him at odds with his youthful looks. ]

Think you could give me a few pointers, then? Today was fun - I wouldn't mind working on my game a little more.

No time like the present.
