[ It works. The slight movement across from him causes Tobio to look up again. Their eyes meet and Tobio swallows. Huh...
He straightens in his seat as he answers Gansey's questions. ]
Um, volleyball is a sport where there are two teams compromised of six players each, a net and a ball. Following a set of rules, the players have to keep the ball in the air and if the ball drops on their side of the court, then the other team gets a point. [ Well, that was a dumb explanation. Surely Gansey already knows the basic mechanics of volleyball. ]
[ But sure enough, Tobio's shyness slowly melts away when he begins to explain his views on setters. ] The setter is the coolest position on the team because they handle the ball the most in a match. They're like the control tower. If you're able to watch a game from the end side of the court, you'll get to see how fast a setter can toss. From one end of the court to the other, like zoom! The ball goes past the enemy's block and you think hey can they really return that?, then a spiker jumps up and hits the toss like wham! [ Tobio acts out the motions so that Gansey can hopefully understand what he means. ] As a setter, you get to trick the enemy's blocks, tear down walls for spikers. It's difficult, it's cool, it's fun, and that's the setter.
