(apollo would argue on an appropriate rating for that movie, possibly being praised too much, on the realistic aspect of it and how maybe there is no hero meant to go back on the ice. at least, not in any story where apollo somehow passes as the "hero".
but it's not klavier's lack of proper story telling that gets apollo's attention. it's his words. the way they resonate with something deep in him, locked away ever since his former devil of a coach was. the way they flow effortlessly, but quiet, gently approaching the subject instead of rude, hushed whispers.
the way he speaks to apollo as though he understands. not the cheap kind of understanding any prospective coaches made half assed attempted at. no, klavier speaks from experience, in a way apollo knows. his head raises, looking him in the eye, and for only a brief second, his face relaxes, willing to let klavier in to help.
but it's really not that simple. and it never has been. his face falls again, scrunching up as he recalls every painful memory over the past months. his free hand grips the upper arm of the one klavier is still linked to, but there's no tug or yank to tear them apart.) ... I don't know if it'll be fun anymore.
