Marcus just shook his head at Melinda's comment, and said, "That's not an excuse to not take precautions though." Even now it was difficult to stomach the idea that Roger was suffering from an injury meant for him.
Not having heard the near slip up, he commented, "He's just lucky it wasn't worse." After all, the man in question was at home rather than still sequestered in St. Mungo's, which had to count for something in the overall scheme of things. "And we're lucky that he'll still be able to play once he recovers." Because Salazar knew that the last thing the team - and Marcus personally, if he were being honest - needed was to have to get used to a different player, even this early in the season.
He didn't bother trying to stop the roll of his eyes at Melinda's answer, muttering, "Why am I not surprised."
