Summary
“I’m considering early retirement,” announces Hayden the moment Marleau picks up his phone.
Marleau barks out a laugh, not entirely surprised by the statement. Or the fact that Hayden chose to call him this early after the game. Judging by the low, steady purr in the background, Cliff just knows that Hayden is still driving home.
“Yeah, Cens literally obliterated you,” he admits. He watched the game, of course, so he understands how Pike must feel. The game was difficult, brutal; Ottawa team was relentless and their two star centers were vicious in their efforts. Metros were, to put it lightly, helpless and lost. It ended 0-9 for the Centaurs. “It’s not like you guys didn’t deserve it.” He adds, his words harsh but his tone without any vitriol.
“I know,” Pike sighs, “but it still stings. It was so bad, I even got an apology from Roz. Well, his own form of apology.”
“Classic Roz,” Cliff muses. It doesn’t escape his attention that Hayden used the same nickname he uses when speaking about Rozanov. And he canʼt resist teasing his friend a little. “So… Since when he’s Roz to you?”
