Wait. Now he wasn't the only one who's focus was a little too fixed. Obviously he had completely unnerved Alex and the poor man was keeping an eye on him lest he do something crazy.

The American accent threw him a little, as he kept expecting to hear Cecil's voice. I need to tell Ainsley about this...

"Oh I see, so we could be welcoming you into the Magpie family sooner or later." Roger's smile was polite, as the conversation settled into a neutral ground. He could talk about the team and Quidditch, that was safe. "My rookie season as a Magpie was going well, until today. It's my first ever ejection. I was with Ballycastle before ... and after. Coach rescued me from their reserves bench and brought me to Montrose. Feels like home now."

Alex shrugged a shoulder. He was honestly a little relieved when the other wizard's face shifted into something he could handle a bit more adroitly. "Could be, if the universe decides it likes me enough. From what I've picked up so far, you guys have a great team. It'd be awesome to be a part of it." He fixed Roger with an almost daring look. "Unless there's some super secret scandal that I'm better off not knowing about. Any skeletons in your closet that I should or shouldn't know about?"

He listened as Roger went on; that all tracked with what he'd read about the Chaser, though he got a little confused by: "...before?" but then he got there, and his face fell a little. "Ah, yes, right. Sorry." Alex waved a dismissive hand toward the pitch, and shook his head. "I wouldn't worry about that ejection, really. Like I said, it was a shit call, and I think most people would agree if they'd been paying the slightest bit of attention to the plays."

He was about to say more when he felt something bump against his leg. Immediately afterward, a cold, wet sensation nudged his fingers. Alex glanced down, startled, and then grinned and crouched low and held out his hand. "Hello! Who's this?"

"Hopefully the Universe decides to play nice," Roger's smile didn't falter even as an anxious feeling swept over him at the joking question. He didn't know whether sleeping with his Coach's Brother-in-Law counted as a skeleton or not. "Hmmm nope, just boots."

He was about to qualify his statement when Alex's expression changed, so instead he just nodded. While his own experience of the war wasn't as bad as others', he still wasn't overly keen on talking about it. "I'll try not to worry about it. But sometimes my brain doesn't let me."

Watching as Alex crouched down to greet his pup, Ro smiled, "that would be Waffle. I'm his human. Did anyone warn you about the Montrose Pack? You'll need to learn their names too." Waffle's tail was wagging a mile a minute as he greeted this new human, flopping onto his side for a belly rub.

A brow inclined at the mention of footwear, but Alex merely filed that bit away, just like the non-reaction to the brief allusion to the war. Any additional reassurances he could have given Roger probably would have sounded hollow coming from a relative stranger, so he tabled them for now and focused on giving the puppy his undivided attention.

"Waffle? It's not short for quaffle, is it?" He glanced up at Roger with a teasing smile. "I did notice a rather disproportionate number of four legs around the box. The Unbeatable Montrose Menagerie- has a nice ring to it. I can work with that."

Roger's attention went back to the game for a moment as his pup charmed Alex. The little collie was in his element as the other man gave him all the fusses he could wish for.

"Actually, yes. I was told Quaffle was a little on the nose, plus Waffles are delicious." Roger smiled as the pup let out a little bark at his name being mentioned. "Use the animals for PR? Impressive. The chocolate lab is Toby, Lennox is his Magpie, Mandela, the Jack Russel, keeps Jason in line and Champ, who isn't in the box at the moment, is Maddock's partner in crime."

Alex let out a genuine laugh, tickled by Roger's admission. "Can't fault you there- they are delicious." He scratched the puppy behind the ear, getting a slobbery lick to the side of his wrist for his consideration. Alex chuckled again, but made no move to wipe it clean just yet.

He filed away the names and corresponding dogs- that he could see, at least- with a small nod. "Gotta use everything in your arsenal, right? It's a different...breed, if you'll excuse the ongoing metaphor, that isn't even a little charmed by Quidditch players and their pets."

He gave Waffle another long pet and then rose to his feet again. "Speaking of charming, I really need to see if I can find your manager out there. It was a genuine pleasure to meet you, Roger. Hopefully we'll see each other again in the near future."
