"Great rival!" Pep said, laughing. "You certainly haven't gotten any more modest since they ran you out of Italy. :D
"And you've always been a hopeless idealist," Jose said, unoffended.
"Well, someone has to be. And I suppose this is the closest you'll ever be to me again, but I still can't like where you are."
"It isn't where I am, I think, it's what I am. Or maybe who. I'm not Luis, you know."
"You'd never be that stupid," Pep snorted. "Or so pointlessly proud. No, I know who you are. And you know who I am. Better than anyone else ever has, at least. That might be what I miss the most, in the end."
i just. ok. that was so appropriate. i like how pragmatic jose is, how matter-of-fact he is about correcting pep, it's not about us it's about the team. and football as a theoretical exercise omg pep would never say something like that.
i've been meaning to ask you this all day but idk i forgot: how is pep a silver fox if he doesn't have any hair?? this is a very important question. personally i think he is still this side of being an 'older' man.
