002 Play [Video || Action]

[dillonrockstar]

[Tim is out in the park with a football. He's rigged up an old tire to swing from a tree limb and he's hammering the football through the tire. He jogs out to get the football then returns to do it again. Throwing passes aren't really his thing but catching passes takes more than one person. He actually looks fairly thoughtful for a change rather than confused. ]

Anybody wanna play catch or want to learn?

But if they prevent people from getting hurt, I should think them reasonable.

Guess so. It's football. You're gonna get hurt eventually. There's also rules about forward motion. When a team has the ball they have to move it at least ten yards on every play. They get four chances to do that. If they don't, the ball goes to the other team.

Why do you play a game that will lead to your getting hurt?

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

'Cause it's a hellva lotta fun. [The look on his face when he talks about football supports that statement.]

'Sides, it's one of the things I'm damn good at.

[He's got a point there. On a football field, Tim Riggins is a god. Everywhere else, not so much.]

[ Tessa studies him for a moment, then smiles. ] I don't think I would be particularly good at it, but I will watch.

[That gets her one of those slow, lazy, utterly charming grins.]

Deal. And hey if you wanna spell my name out while I'm playin' that works for me.

[She can stay and watch Tim play football with all the various people coming along to play. He will absolutely show off for her.]

[ Tessa is most decidedly not blushing. ]

Why would I wish to spell out your name while you are playing?

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

[Of course not. Tim absolutely doesn't notice it either.]

Y'know for moral support.

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

[ There is nothing to notice. Carry on. ]

Why would my spelling your name offer you moral support?

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

'Cause I'd know you were on my side. Not the other guy's.

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

But how would you even know I was spelling your name.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

You gotta shout the letters out loud enough I can hear 'em.

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

I think I will merely watch.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll be the guy catchin' the ball out there then.

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

Enjoy the game. [ And she settles down on a nearby bench to watch. ]
