what's andrew and neil's relationship with their (first ?) professional team like? is there bonding or like mandatory tolerance or ? ((also how does neil's locker room issue turn out?)) (((thanks for existing)))

A

Neil actually learns to dress in front of other people his.. junior? senior? year. I can’t remember which one now, sorry. They have a new kid on their line who’s pretty badly burned ((thanks Brian’s mom)), and he’s bold enough to dress in front of the others. Neil sort of learns to change out around the others as an act of solidarity. It bothers him for a while, but he buries that unease as best he can and learns to deal with it. So by the time he graduates and has a pro team, he’s gotten used to it – though now his new team has to get used to the myriad of scars. Luckily the pro players are older/more mature, and they let it drop after a couple odd ((unwelcome)) comments.

Here’s a glimpse at their pro teams, taken from another post:

Andrew’s first team respected him for his skills, but they were never quite comfortable around him, and the manager wasn’t overly sorry to let him go because Andrew wouldn’t cooperate on the things the mgr wanted him to (e.g. participating in publicity events and playing nice with the press). He traded Andrew to another team in exchange for future draft picks and a dealer he liked.

New team happened to have a former Raven as a coach and a few Raven graduates on the lineup, so Andrew was a much better fit personality wise. Neil was secured a year later when the coach realized how much effort Neil & Andrew made to see each other around their conflicting schedules. Pretty quickly the coach & manager realized Neil and Andrew were a matched set, that you couldn’t have one without the other, a la Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks. All contract renewals going forward were approached with that in mind, and they made any and all necessary trades to keep under the salary cap.

((Neil did spend a year with another team before Andrew’s second team picked him up. He got along with them for the most part, but he never got close to any of them, and he didn’t talk to them about anything but Exy. Neil and Andrew get along with their new team really well, on the other hand – probably because the Raven grads are a bit psychotic, too, so it’s a little like being back with the reckless Foxes.))
