I didn't foul you

at CCCs a few weekends ago, i was on defense against a girl on georgia's team and we both were running for a disc. she attempted to go over me and catch it, but since i had position i d'd it and she just ended up knocking me over.

when we both stood up i went to pick up the disc, but stopped because she stopped me, looked at me, and said "i dont think that was a foul"

now, this statement confused me. she was not calling a foul, she was simply stating that there wasn't a foul, and yet since i was on defense there would be no reason for me to disagree with her because then it would go back and she would get the disc again. plus on top of all that, i hadn't even fouled her!

so i agreed with her saying that i didn't think that i fouled her. this lead her to say something along the lines of "i mean i think we hit each other, but that was after you had already hit the disc, so it was clean."

having never been told exactly what i had just done when it was not applicable to anything that could happen in the future by someone i didn't really know was confusing me even more, so again i just said "i think you're right."

she looked like she wanted to add more, but i didn't really see the point of this conversation so i attempted to find a way to end it. not sure how to conclude this discussion, i decided to fall back on my go to we-are-on-good-terms hand gesture: a high five.

however, in this case, i was so flustered about why this conversation was taking place at all, and she was not really expecting a high five at this particular point in time, so this interaction became me making a few confused and stressed sounds and forcibly giving her a high five.

this combo of sad/helpless/confused sounds and an unexpected high five lead into me just tapping the disc in because i didn't know what else to do at this point.

then we won the game, so it all ended okay.
