A secret. Even before he has to confront his behavior with Eddy, he's been really, really nervous about this game, actually. The week between his Big Face Change and this game has been filled with practice. He even took meditation a little more seriously than he would've normally. The whole move to varsity has come with more doubt than he likes, and more than once, he'd found himself wondering why he didn't just stay on Eddy's team. It would've been fun. Much less pressure. Much less glory, too, so there's probably the answer to that.

With this combined with his promise to Laszlo to not get injured, which also weighs on his mind a little more seriously than he thought, it's with a healthy dose of self-doubt that Tybalt hits the pitch, today. The result is he tries this new thing called teamwork. And that, miraculously, seems to have been the right move. He doesn't score anything himself, but he's part of some good passes and plays that set good things up for his team. And he lasts a lot longer than most. It's not a bad day. Thank god. He doesn't try to glory-hog at all, but seeks out everyone on his team to congratulate (making a POINT to hang off Felicity for a moment and crow what a good JOB she did and what a good TEAM they make.) He lands amid celebration with an uncharacteristically soft sigh of relief.
